What publication did the following story run on?
“No forest of any kind should be used to make toilet paper,” said Dr. Allen Hershkowitz, a senior scientist and waste expert with the Natural Resource Defense Council.
Other countries are far less picky about toilet tissue. In many European nations, a rough sheet of paper is deemed sufficient. Other countries are also more willing to use toilet tissue made in part or exclusively from recycled paper.
Are we sick of the word “irony” yet?
Other countries’ opinions mean less than zero to me. It’s Charmin Ultra all the way (and plenty of it), even if it is rough on my septic system. I deal with it.
“Are we sick of the word “irony” yet?”
I’m actually not, we sometimes need irony to explain things, like how there are black democrat politicians when they SHOULD be Republican..or how actors LOVE to earn money and spend it LAVISHLY yet think it’s ok to be socialists, etc

ubetcha
Of course, the New York Times. I’ve heard that their stock is good for nothing more than toilet paper.
To be honest, I don’t see the zing.
I think that we should all buy virtual on-line toilet paper (which would actually be carbon credits given to Al Gore et al) and instead use the New York Times to wipe our bums.
Watch out for the ink stains.
Is this the NYT’s attempt to market itself as news/toilet paper? I think so!
