#TossTheTube

Toilet paper tubes irk me. You can't recycle them. You can compost them of course. Still though that is the third R (Reduce is better than Reuse is better than Recycle). I was glad that I was selected to try and share Scott's tubeless toilet paper, because,  let's face it, I have tossed paper towels and tossed paper napkins, but I just can't bring myself to No Impact Man it and toss the T.P. I Am pretty sure the ogre would appreciate that idea as much as a previous plan I hatched to get rid of the refrigerator, yeah that never happened. Anyhow I tossed the tube at least. Without the tube the toilet paper was, well, regular Scott toilet paper. My bum ain't picky. The one thing I will say is if your toilet paper holder does not roll itself then the paper gets tangled on it and you just have to pass the stuff on to your good friend Mackenzie when she drives you because, let's face it, gas is expensive and sometimes your company just isn't enough. One other thought for Scott. If it really is for the environment I hope they will ditch the plastic and start packing in paper like those giant single rolls.

  1. My gerbils eat them and love them up. Gone is 5 minutes flat! Really I have not thought about them in a year. Gerbils are fun pets and recycle for us!

    1. Great idea with the gerBils. I bet they would eat a lot of what I compost. Perhaps I should check with my neighbor who does a guinea pig rescue

  2. Other option if the tubeless rolls don't spin on your holder: use them in the car for facial tissue. Every family needs facial tissues in the car, right?

    If you use tp on your face, does that make you a butthead?

    1. No, not a butthead. Just slightly embarrassed when driving clients
