Get Green with Toilet Paper
We’re always looking for ways to make life a little greener. Recently we explored toilet paper.
Yes, toilet paper.
A few years ago my husband started buying toilet tissue without a cardboard roll. We figured it would save a lot of paper. Scott Takes the Tube Out of Toilet Paper! For more info, click here.
Once I started telling a young woman about our tubeless adventure and she stated proudly, “We stopped using toilet paper altogether.” After this statement, I went a little pale and turned to the person on my right to start a new conversation. I was afraid of receiving further information. Later on I figured out they probably installed a bidet. Bidets save a lot of paper and get you clean down there. Click here to check it out.
We haven’t gone the bidet route but we’re exploring bamboo toilet paper. It’s much more eco-friendly and the brand I bought did not come wrapped in single use plastic. Yay!

There are some drawbacks to the brand I bought. It works well but is expensive and there’s no way to put it on the spindle in your toilet tissue dispenser.
Try getting this baby on the spindle!
I went to the trouble of rewinding two rolls and below you see the results. Not very pretty, I admit. Still, I bought thirty rolls and don’t want to waste it.
Sigh!
Anyway . . .
