RE: Venezuela Observatory: WTF!? no toilet paper. :-O
Seems more gross then it is, we all wash our behinds when we take a shower don't we?
The amount of trees that we all flush down the toilet is just staggering.
Sure but AFTER we've used toilet paper, not before.
And the tree argument is complete crap in my opinion. It's an antropomorphic view of the universe and implicitely assume that we are more important than we really are. Trees have grown on the surface of the planet for more than 100 000 000 years, waaaaay before we walked the Earth and their kin is faaaar more resilient than the "tree huggers" implicitly assume. Basically, trees don't care about us and about how many we fell. Other trees grow behind. That's just the way it was since eons and just the way it is, regardless on whether we exist or we perish and disappear as a species.
But while trees are timeless and imemorial, my life is short. I can think of about 1000 things that I deem more important than "saving trees by replacing toilet paper with my hand". Really, believe me, the number of trees we flush down the toilet is largely irrelevant.
Next you are going to focus on what, the amount of O2 molecules we are transforming in CO2 and militate that we all stop breathing in order to save oxygen ?
Let's turn our attention to questions that matter rather than red herrings
Actually, you have pointed out what I think are two great points to elaborate on, rather than a question, it calls for a research.
Don't you think that these are topics what truly represents how we are polluting and putting in real danger every city/town on Earth? Just by being billions throwing trash like it doesn't matter where it goes? And that is exactly what we do with toilets, washing machines, every plumbing system and how we don't recycle each natural force but instead blindly hinder what is actually there for us to learn and to manage in a better way? Nature is alive, and it's more connected to global solutions than we are.
It's all about balance and equilibrium. Where you put the cursor. I do not put it in the same place on the scale as you. I do not share your views. That doesn't mean that I'm at an extreme.
