Toilet Paper a Luxury Good?

toilet paper bad for environment
Apparently extra soft toilet paper has been found to be more harmful to the environment than those gawd-awful Hummers. 98 percent of the TP that we use in the States come from virgin forests, which means that every time you wipe your rear end with that pillow-soft two-ply, you're destroying some poor owl's home. Compare that with the Euros who use toilet paper that is made from 40 percent recycled material. I'm all for saving the environment, but the day that good TP becomes a luxury and I'm forced to walk around with a rash on my arse because I'm using recycled leaves to clean up is the day that I say "Fuck You" to nature.
