Want to save the environment? Some people have given up paper diapers and gone back to cloth diapers in an effort to save money and the environment. But how far are you willing to take it? Can you eliminate toilet paper?
“Alright,” you say, “You’ve convinced me about cloth diapers, and I understand using cloth gift bags and napkins. But toilet paper??” For some people, making the switch to cloth toilet wipes is a huge leap, that’s true. But it doesn’t need to be!
Using cloth toilet wipes actually has many advantages. For one, it’s a lot more comfortable and soft on your most delicate body parts. It’s also more economical, uses less paper, and saves you those late-night trips to the store. And cloth wipes can be used wet without any of the sopping disintegration that regular toilet paper is prone to.
Thanks DJ
W..T..F. I dont make late night trips to the store,how about letting those environmental dipsh*ts wipe with their hand like those damn muslims,I will stay with TP
I hope that folks realize that they will have to buy an additional clothes washer. I mean, who wants to wash their shirts along with a load of poop filled diapers?
Richard’s probably right. And now you have to use a lot more electricity for the washer, maybe more gas to heat the water, more water, more soap into the sewer systems, more sewage treatment down the line with more cost to the taxpayer, or else more pollution of the waterways.
All this so we don’t use the renewable resource, trees. Smart forest management – planting more trees than were harvested has resulted in more trees in the US than 50 years ago. What’s the difference between planting, harvesting, and replanting corn or wheat, and doing the same with trees?
You can also just buy the cardboard environmentally friendly brand. They plant trees and use the off cuts from paper manufacturing. I refuse to wash nappies (diapers) now, I won’t be washing poo wipes either!
another prove that environmentalists are idiots.
Actually, I read somewhere that waste-paper blockages in the sewer systems were becoming more common in large cities.
Nope, not gonna happen in my household. It’s funny that we
supposedly have all these modern conveniences that are suppose
to save us sooooooo much time BUT we never have any time to do
anything because we are too busy. Don’t figure.
I simply do not like some people enough to have them come-on
over to my house, wipe their crap off on a reusable nappie, (as Bitsy would say)
with ME having to get it into the washing machine, and clean it.
Just plain NO.
crispy…Yeah, had that here between the house and the main sewerlines out by the street. The plumber said it’s because of the newer low-flow toilets, faucets, shower-heads etc. When you flush an older toilet, it used anywhere from 4-7 gallons. Then about 20 years ago they made them 3.5. The new ones use 1.6 gallons and Australia has a dualie now that uses either 1.6 or 0.8 gallons. Less water in the sewer from faucets and showerheads too, those have cut down flow by 50%. That’s just not enuf water to move all the waste all the way out to the mains, so it just sits in the pipe as more comes along.
Oddly enuf, city water dept. says because water usage is way down, they’re hurting, so they keep raising our rates. Even tho I use half the water I used to, my bill is higher, and I (and everybody else) will need the occasional plumber to clean out sewer lines.
try using more DJ… you get a break if you consume extra… my water bill actually goes down if I drain my pond and fill it a few times in summer (5000 gallons).. plus this works with electricity also… one time I lived in an all electric house, and froze every winter, until my parrot that I had for 14 years got sick, the doctor gave me med’s to give him and he said you will have to keep him in 80 degree’s or he will die… so I did thinking my elec. bill would be 500 to 600 that month, it actually went down due to extra usage, I never froze in that trailer again…lol
DAYUM DJ. Don’t even get me started on low-flow toilets. I had to buy one last year during a remodel and now I have to flush 2-3 times. Some savings!
