| TOILET PAPER VS. BATHROOM BIDET SPRAYERS | |||
| (Wednesday, 27 May 2009) Written by greeniac9000000 | |||
| TOILET PAPER VS. BATHROOM BIDET SPRAYERS The amount of toilet paper used every year in the US is staggering. At a time when record numbers of people are losing their jobs wouldn’t it be wonderful to find a way to save money and also help our environment at the same time? And what if this “way” also helped us, in terms of health, hygiene and even made us feel good? Well the way to do that is to get a Bathroom Bidet Sprayer. We use 36.5 billions rolls of toilet paper in the U.S. each year, this represents at least 15 million trees pulped. This also involves 473,587,500,000 gallons of water to produce the paper and 253,000 tons of chlorine for bleaching purposes. The manufacturing process requires about 17.3 terawatts of electricity annually. Also, there is the energy and materials involved in packaging and transporting the toilet paper to households across the country. Toilet paper also constitutes a significant load on the city sewer systems, and water treatment plants. It is also often responsible for clogged pipes. In septic systems, the elimination of toilet paper would mean the septic tank would need to be emptied much less often. Basically, the huge industry of producing toilet paper could be eliminated through the use of bidets(at least most of it). Instead of using toilet paper, a bidet sprayer cleans your posterior using a jet of water. You can use toilet paper to dry off with, which would be a fraction of your normal use, or you can use a towel which actually works even better. Most of us can't imagine living without toilet paper. The average American uses over 100 single rolls—about 21,000 sheets—each year. One common suggestion is for people to switch to recycled toilet paper: This is an easy one that you won’t even have to suffer for! If every household in America switched out just ONE roll of regular TP for recycled TP, we would: Save 470,000 trees, Use 1.2 million cubic feet LESS landfill space Save about 169 million gallons of water The biggest drawback with that is that many people complain the recycled paper is not as soft, it can also cost more. But it you use the Bathroom Bidet Sprayer first you won’t have to feel bad about the small amount of toilet paper you may still use. No top-selling household paper product uses recycled content, and activists believe that the industry prefers it that way — stocking store shelves with brands that compete over softness, a quality that comes from virgin tree fiber. “We know people care about the environment,” says Darby Hoover, an NRDC staffer, but many consumers still don't realize they have a choice. Recycled paper also can cost more because the market for it now is small. But what's the potential payback for switching? Seventh Generation, one of the largest recycled producers, estimates that: · One million trees would be saved if every U.S. household replaced just one 250-count package of virgin fiber napkins with 100 percent recycled ones. · 544,000 trees would be saved by replacing a 70-sheet roll of virgin fiber paper towels. · 424,000 trees would be spared by replacing a 500-sheet roll of virgin fiber toilet paper. · 170,000 trees would be saved by replacing one 175-count box of virgin fiber facial tissue. Now imagine how many trees would be saved if you didn’t use toilet paper at all?! Finally, do the math. How much would you save each week and then month if you stopped buying toilet paper completely? And this saving will just keep going on and on. So let’s look at this again: You can get a superior cleaning method for you and your family with the Hand Bidet Sprayer. It has several health benefits (see our benefits section). You can help the environment in a big way and not just today or this month but forever by lowering the number of trees cut down and used for toilet paper. You also will be helping to lower the amount of electricity used in the manufacturing process and the chemicals (read: and our dependence on imported oil here) that can pollute our world. It saves you money everyday and every month from now on and finally it just plain feels good! What are you waiting for? http://www.bathroomsprayers.com |

| Don't have a yard? Try indoor gardening! | |||
| (Friday, 09 May 2008) Written by greeniac40021 | |||
| When I moved to an apartment with no yard and no rooftop space, I thought I was out of luck when it came to keeping up my gardening hobby. City garden plots are nice, but in my case they were expensive and inconvenient and required more of a commitment than I was ready to make. On a whim, I started experimenting with indoor gardening, and I have been astonished by the results. Not only are plants beautiful and cheery, they also work to clean the air. NASA published a study outlining how many common houseplants can remove many common air pollutants including carbon monoxide, ammonia, formaldehyde, as well as many others. In addition to their air filtering qualities, plants are beautiful and provide a much needed touch of greenery, especially in the winter months. Plus, in many cases, indoor gardening can actually yield fruits and produce food. It’s true that not all varieties of fruits and vegetables can be grown indoors, and the ones that do grow are often smaller than their outside counterparts. However, they still taste delicious and come with the satisfaction that you grew them yourself. My tomato plants have just started flowering and are over 3 feet tall. With a little love, care and open windows for bumblebee visitors, hopefully I’ll get some tomato fruits. If you are interested in indoor container gardening, there are lots of resources on what kinds of plants grow well indoors as well as tricks to help your plants flourish in their indoor environments. Here is a pretty complete summary from someone at Virginia Tech: http://www.ext.vt.edu/pubs/envirohort/426-336/426-336.html Gardening isn’t for everyone, but if you’re looking to try out a new hobby, rid your home of indoor air pollutants, and add a little greenery, it can’t hurt to try out indoor gardening! |
