 Why do Americans use more toilet paper per person than anywhere else in the world? Yeah, we use enough toilet paper in a year if unrolled to take us to Saturn and back and still have millions of miles left over. And pulpoid harvesting for toilet paper disrupts natural ecosystems and releases millions of metric tons of carbon. So why so much TP in the US of A? Well for one, Americans don't use bidets, unlike other countries like Japan, that have 80% bidet usage. And bidets have the benefit of reducing household consumption of toilet paper by 80% and use far less water than making toilet paper. But if you're going to stick with TP, try a more sustainable world that uses recycled fibers or bamboo, for example. They're pretty easy to find online.
