When we think about environmental threats, we generally think about cars, airplanes, or toxic waste and fumes of factories. These are indeed all huge contributors to the slow destruction of our planet. However, it is important to remember that certain everyday habits or products that might seem quite harmless – and which might be harmless in small quantity- can have catastrophic consequences on the environment when they are used massively.

Considering
that toilet paper is on friendly terms with our most intimate parts, we take
great umbrage at the fact that many so-called recycled toilet paper brands have
been soaked in bleach for a better sell. Fearing that the brownish-grey shade of chemical-free toilet paper will
be rejected by consumers, manufacturers use bleach and other toxic chemicals to

toilet paper roll we’ll be bringing into the bathroom with us. Available at your local supermarket for
$1/roll.
