    I switched to Bamboo toilet paper. Renewable, saves old growth trees, and when bought in bulk online is as cheap as Walmart.

      Almost all paper comes from byproducts if the lumber industry or recycled. Its the processes of papermaking that have huge impacts to the environment.

        Yeah, TP is renewable by design, since it comes from trees. Being from a grass like bamboo doesn’t change that, and bamboo isn’t absorbent, so I’m very concerned about the process they’re using to produce something that’s supposed to be somewhat absorbent.
