@pinkbluebell1956 I wouldn't recommend getting your facts from the greenpeace website. I've worked in the silviculture field and these "evil logging companies" are responsible for the regrowth of areas they cut. I did effectiveness monitoring and the regeneration was very effective. Not to mention the enormous food source they create for ungulates bears and many other animals within the ecosytem.

Do these people not realize that these forests regrow?

use a washable handkerchief to wipe your nose, and use a bucket of water to wash your ass after using the base.

you fucking idiots had better not be living in wood houses

Yes you can make tissue from recycled paper and most companies do. That is a really good question to ask Kimberly Clarke 1-888-346-4652. Don't forget they own Kleenex, Scott, Huggies, Cottonelle, Pull ups, Viva, Kotex, Depends, WypALL, Kimtech, Kimcare, Kimguard, and more!

hell, just go to the website of kimberly clarke. they say themselves they use 70% "virgin forest" in order to keep their asswipes soft.

I'm not kidding, it actually says that.

well, perhaps not the asswipes part.

[pinkbluebell1956]

be responible for what you say AND LISTEN,

Do not judje untill you find out the facts on Greenpeace website!

Then feel free to comment and I will listen, and you may be heard!

zole2112 - I am eager to know the source of your information. Please post it. Otherwise I'm left with a large respected environmental organization saying one thing versus a single person saying the opposite. Attributions please.

[zole2112]

Toilet paper is not made from old growth forests, it it made from the waste left over after lumber companies cut trees for lumber in the sawmills. This use of the lumber mill waste saves it from the waste stream. People are so uninformed it's ridiculous.
