I live in a mountainous area in northern Spain. I am constantly seeing log lorries like the one in the oicture so find it frightening to see hom many trees are taken down for whatever reason. However here they do re plant but seeing the lorries on a regular basis give me cause to think more about what I use. I use recycled all the time here. I live in a mountainous area in northern Spain.

I make a huge effort to recycle and buy fewer plastic container, etc... but I guess when it comes to TP, I just choose the cheapest thing I can find. Funny how a topic like this can resonate with people... An interesting article, and something I’ve never really thought about.

Many Indians and Pakistanis think it's downright disgusting that Americans *only* clean their bums with paper and not with water (using an 'lota' like they do in the subcontinent). In a hot climate I'm all for the lota, but in New England I've got to go with TP. Thanks for the tip about Cascades. I absolutely love the opening quote.
