Two Ply Toilet Paper (and America) is Destroying the Planet

March 1, 2009

 We have all heard about how we are destroying the planet because we chose to drive SUVs and Hummers, and other gas guzzling cars. We have heard that these lifestyle choices are bad for the planet. The government is looking at stricter regulations and taxes on these plane damaging choices that Americans make.

   But what if I were to tell you of another, even more environmentally unfriendly lifestyle choice that Americans make that is destroying the planet?  Wouldn’t you want to do something about it?

  You must be wondering what this new enviro-hazzard is and I am here to tell you. It is…….YOUR ASS.

  Americans like to use two ply toilet paper and this is more dangerous to the environment than driving gas guzzling cars.

The tenderness of the delicate American buttock is causing more environmental devastation than the country’s love of gas-guzzling cars, fast food or McMansions, according to green campaigners. At fault, they say, is the US public’s insistence on extra-soft, quilted and multi-ply products when they use the bathroom.

    Greenpeace is starting a new campaign to educate Americans about how excessive we are because we buy two ply bathroom tissue. The biggest problem, according to these wackos, is the fact that trees are cut down to make toilet paper.

Future generations are going to look at the way we make toilet paper as one of the greatest excesses of our age. Making toilet paper from virgin wood is a lot worse than driving Hummers in terms of global warming pollution.” Making toilet paper has a significant impact because of chemicals used in pulp manufacture and cutting down forests.

  Evidently these people forget that trees are a renewable resource. We will never run out of trees. Sorry. This article goes on to claim that this is mostly an American phenomenon.

I really do think it is overwhelmingly an American phenomenom,” said Hershkowitz. “People just don’t understand that softness equals ecological destruction

   An “overwhelmingly American phenomenon,” doesn’t that sum up the gist of the argument? This is not about the environment, s it? This is about people who are just trying to bring down the standard of living in this country.

“Softness equals ecological destruction.” Wow!

  But because I care so much about this whole global warming scam I am not just going to sit here and bitch about how absurd this is, I am going to offer a solution. Just when you think that these people can’t get any more out there along comes this.

  Reusable toilet wipes.

    Ewww…reusable wipes.

    I still remember cloth diapers and the maintence need to re-use them. BIG Ewww. Perhaps we need to just educate Americans on how to use a bidet…but then the greenies will start complaining about water usage.

    If we could somehow harness our fluid out-take as a fuel for our vehicles—Hmmm…the smell of petrol v/s the smell of urine. I’d like them to find a way to tax urine as a fuel. They would ya know.

    Wouldn’t these reuseable cause an increased usage of water (not to mention the detergent to clean them)? I was under the impression that most toilet paper is made from recycled paper. Something stinks here.

    I like the bunny! By the way, this is America. If I want soft toilet paper, I’m damn well going to use it. I pay for it with my hard earned money. I’ve been hearing more lately about so called “global warming”. Folks on TV and radio have been arguing against it more vehemently. But the whackos still insist that the earth is warming. Uh, NO, it’s not.

    Well, I suppose if some fucking bleeding heart liberal, who happens to be a BEAUTIFUL young lady wanted to KISS MY ASS until it was clean, I might be persuaded to not use ANY toilet paper! That would save twice as many trees as just switching to single-ply would. Until then however, I will wipe with whatever I want. SCREW THEM ASSHOLES!!!!

    What do they think makes them reusable? They are reusable when they have been washed. I can’t imagine that a roll of toilet paper is consuming nearly the level of resources that the equivalent amount of “reusable” wipes (aka washcloth) would require to launder them.

    It would have to be installed first. I’m 36 years old and I have never seen an actual bidet in my life. They just are not a standard installation.

    Here we go again, libs and the conservation folks.. WATER and DETERGENT that would be consumed to WASH the darn stinky things would be more then the damage made by the double ply!!!!! HOW stupid to the liberals think we are ?? How did the good old USA get to be the best place to live in the WORLD ?? And if finally some of the libs don’t think we got it good here, travel some (and hopefully find a better place) and STAY THERE.

Yeah it was that far left democrat Teddy Roosevelt. so instead of calling the republican party the conservative party i think we should call them the poser party. fucking posers!!!!!
