The blog following is for the author of "these come from trees"
I admire and respect the people who live their lives with a cause, but I cannot stand a f@#king hippie. an uneducated green warrior inspired by a moment of clarity in a franchise store decides to save the trees after watching a few people in bathrooms wash their hands.......creepy
So eco super hero I offer you this.
Virtually all pulp wood is grown exclusively for the purpose of making paper, it has been at least twenty yrs since an old growth fir gave its life for someone to wipe their ass. Plum Creek timber co. Boise Cascade and midland Paper all manage over a million acres of hybrid tree farms ( super trees that grow 6-12 ft a year) in locations trees have never existed ( Columbia basin, eastern Oregon, southern Idaho) Old growth timber is logged, sold in log form to the Japanese they turn some of it into lumber, and some they sink in giant lakes to use 100 yrs from now. The wood you buy in the states mostly comes from Canada because it is cheaper to produce there. Deforestation is a problem only in south America, and it is a huge one. That wood ( rose wood, zebra wood, and several kinds of oak) goes to making floors and furniture for uneducated people in the bay area like you. Who are willing to kill the world for style, but not clean hands. The timber industry keeps billions of acres of wild areas in a natural form, allowing citizens access to them with few rules. As a rule most wildlife flourishes in 3-15 yr old logged areas, with a few birds and 1 or 2 mammals suffering.....you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet. So next time you see some jerk sitting in a Bombay company executives chair.....yell at him, treat him like a smoker, push him on the ground and kick him. But leave the rest of us alone.....after all we are only trying to keep our butts clean.

If we do not rise and oppose these toilet paper fascists, we may soon have to resort to the 3-seashell method!
We must protect 2-ply quilted goodness from the forces of evil!
I love my quilted, extra soft T.P. I'm not prepared to give it up. Although, I do have to add, that Canada is losing it's forests, and we are losing alot on the east coast. The media is owned by the very same people that are cutting it down. Obviously not in the name of T.P. but for export. There are some European countries that are allowed to come here and clear cut our forests as well, for a price of course. Our forested crown land is being traded for clear cut fields to build golf courses for tourists. I agree with everything you said, except about the sustainable forests.. We don't have any, and what we have is being sold to other countries for profits that the average canadian doesn't see.
Indian forests are doing no lgood either... they are also loosing everything.
Anyways, am currently in dubai and the place just won an award for highest aforestation. you have to be here to see how much green can be grown in the desert. Partly i think these guys in dubai are responsible for the climate change.
