From Gas-Guzzlers To Ass-Guzzlers
Okay, I am sooooo sick of this bullshit now.
NOBODY had ever come up to me with their global warming/climate change bullshit.
American taste for soft toilet roll ‘worse than driving Hummers’Extra-soft, quilted and multi-ply toilet roll made from virgin forest causes more damage than gas-guzzlers, fast food or McMansions, say campaigners
by Suzanne Goldenberg
The tenderness of the delicate American buttock is causing more environmental devastation than the country’s love of gas-guzzling cars, fast food or McMansions, according to green campaigners. At fault, they say, is the US public’s insistence on extra-soft, quilted and multi-ply products when they use the bathroom.
“This is a product that we use for less than three seconds and the ecological consequences of manufacturing it from trees is enormous,” said Allen Hershkowitz, a senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defence Council.
“Future generations are going to look at the way we make toilet paper as one of the greatest excesses of our age. Making toilet paper from virgin wood is a lot worse than driving Hummers in terms of global warming pollution.” Making toilet paper has a significant impact because of chemicals used in pulp manufacture and cutting down forests.
A campaign by Greenpeace seeks to raise consciousness among Americans about the environmental costs of their toilet habits and counter an aggressive new push by the paper industry giants to market so-called luxury brands.
More than 98% of the toilet roll sold in America comes from virgin forests, said Hershkowitz. In Europe and Latin America, up to 40% of toilet paper comes from recycled products. Greenpeace this week launched a cut-out-and-keep ecological ranking of toilet paper products.
“We have this myth in the US that recycled is just so low quality, it’s like cardboard and is impossible to use,” said Lindsey Allen, the forestry campaigner of Greenpeace.
The campaigning group says it produced the guide to counter an aggressive marketing push by the big paper product makers in which celebrities talk about the comforts of luxury brands of toilet paper and tissue.
Those brands, which put quilting and pockets of air between several layers of paper, are especially damaging to the environment.
Paper manufacturers such as Kimberly-Clark have identified luxury brands such as three-ply tissues or tissues infused with hand lotion as the fastest-growing market share in a highly competitive industry. Its latest television advertisements show a woman caressing tissue infused with hand lotion.
The New York Times reported a 40% rise in sales of luxury brands of toilet paper in 2008. Paper companies are anxious to keep those percentages up, even as the recession bites. And Reuters reported that Kimberly-Clark spent $25m in its third quarter on advertising to persuade Americans against trusting their bottoms to cheaper brands.
But Kimberly-Clark, which touts its green credentials on its website, rejects the idea that it is pushing destructive products on an unwitting American public.
Dave Dixon, a company spokesman, said toilet paper and tissue from recycled fibre had been on the market for years. If Americans wanted to buy them, they could.
“For bath tissue Americans in particular like the softness and strength that virgin fibres provides,” Dixon said. “It’s the quality and softness the consumers in America have come to expect.”
Longer fibres in virgin wood are easier to lay out and fluff up for a softer tissue. Dixon said the company used products from sustainbly farmed forests in Canada.
Americans already consume vastly more paper than any other country — about three times more per person than the average European, and 100 times more than the average person in China.
Barely a third of the paper products sold in America are from recycled sources — most of it comes from virgin forests.
“I really do think it is overwhelmingly an American phenomenom,” said Hershkowitz. “People just don’t understand that softness equals ecological destruction.”
Fuck.
You.
Stay OUT of my life!
So, here’s an ‘option’ for you and your tender American ass:

Surely it’s time global warming believers marked their houses with some sign, a green pentacle or something, as a warning to visitors to enter at their own risk.

Virgin forests, but trees are a “renewable resource”, and most paper products come from tree farms here in America.
These people are idiots - those ‘virgin forests’ are tree farms: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1444391672891013193
liberals can use their left hand like the muzzies
I saw this HorseShit on the news today, Fucking idiots. Maybe BlowBama and Co. will outlaw 2 ply nonskid.
And that is a very nice ass I might add!!!

If anyone wants to read an interesting meta-analysis of about 180 research papers regarding everything from plant growth due to increased CO2, to solar radiation go to http://petitionproject.org/
You can get a free copy of the published article and it is very very good. Plus you can see that over 31,000 scientists signed a petition to say they don’t beleive in man made global warming. If you can understand the info on Dollard’s site you can understand the article.
This caused a stir amongst the libtards:

Get me toilet paper with Obama’s face on it and I’ll wipe my ass with a smile on my face.
Fuck it, he’s using the Constitution to wipe his.
I found this on another site today, and it fits in here nicely.
“We’ve all been told ad nauseum that CO2 was causing global warming. All of us on earth should be concerned with keeping our environment healthy. So my solution is this:
Tell everyone you know, and spread the message. On April 20th 2009, we’ll have a CO2 awareness day. Since we exhale CO2 we can all make a difference. Anyone who believes that humans are causing climate change should tie plastic garbage bags over their heads for the entire day. By April 21st the issue will be solved.
We will once again be able to drive our SUV’s, eat as much as we want, and lower our thermostats to 60 in the summer, and the rest of the world will be silent. We can carry guns openly, (even though we won’t need them as much). We can wear fur, stop recycling, cut down trees, drain wetlands and build even bigger homes, keep more of our income and not have to worry about another foreign marxist usurper convincing a bunch of mindless bed wetters to elect him president. It won’t be a utopia, but it sure will be a lot quieter.”
Oh well. There is an obvious public health threat here and those closest to it and in most danger are, of course, the idiots that would prefer not to wipe their asses. Whatever resulting disease arises should wipe them out first, so I’m all for it. You’ll be able to smell them a mile away, so you can safely avoid them. Survival of the fittest is our friend.
they must love the jihadists even more. more proof that we are the great satan picking on the poor innocent enviro. friendly Muslims. I wipe my ass with this report. gotta reduce, reuse, recycle.
sweet ass
Why does anyone listen to nut jobs like them.
They are certainly not qualified to say anything.
Agenda driven?
If the libutards want to save trees to cut down on paper than stop drafting 1,ooo page spending bills!!!
DC has got to be the worst offender and most wasteful!
I love the Obongo paper idea, I would wipe my ass with his face anyday!!
I like to shake the hand of that girl’s daddy. He did a wonderful thing for humanity.
I will personally lead the revolution if they make Charmin illegal. God help them, even Jesus wouldn’t be able to save their skins.

I suggest we all use “Greenie Tounge” to clean our stinky ass with……….
Liberals could save a lot of co2 and energy, if the just licked their ass like the filthy dogs they are.
