Why don't we just use leaves?
The issue over tissue in the bathroom — the really super-soft stuff — is more like the fight about the big SUVs loved by many Americans. Anti-green, according to environmentalists. Politically incorrect. Why should Americans use luxurious toilet paper made from old-growth trees when much of the world gets by with a far more basic and often recycled product?
Why should we flush redwoods, so to speak?
So Greenpeace, the Natural Resources Defense Council and other environmental groups have pushed manufacturers such as Kimberly-Clark (Cottonelle) and Procter & Gamble (Charmin) to stop using wood from virgin forests to make tissue products.
Time to roll off the big number: If each American family would buy one recycled roll just one time, it would save 400,000 trees, allegedly. The problem, though, is that each time paper is shredded during the recycling process, its fibers get shorter. The shorter the fiber, the less soft the tissue. And Americans, though indicating in surveys that they embraced green initiatives, also said they don't want to sacrifice comfort.
Greenpeace has come up with a "toilet paper guide," which looks at recycled content and the use of chlorine bleaches.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For several years , I earn money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.

I was once (sorta) in the paper biz. No paper is made out of old growth, or hardwood, or any good wood. Paper is made from loblolly pine plus recycled materials, in forests grown just for that purpose. Because of paper and pine products, the USA now has more forest acres than it did two hundred years ago. Why are populations like whitetail deer, coyote, bear, cougar and smaller critters skyrocketing beyond our abilities to easily cope with them? Because of those wonderful pine forests grown for the paper and pulpwood industry.
Anti-corporate greenies can shove old-growth where the sun don't shine. And wipe their asses with moss.
