ozarque's lj. It goes to Nicole McClelland's It Ain't Easy Peeing Green where she realizes that while going to the bathroom ecologically meant peeing on trees and lawns, and working with a poo-only toilet, all she wanted was something that flushed and that she could sit down on. It's very funny yet thought provoking and has a bit of trivia - did you know that:
Though toilet paper was invented in China in the late 1300s, it was for emperors only, and everyone else around the globe used everything from corncobs to wool to newspaper to lace for the next five centuries. Widespread use of toilet paper didn't catch on until New York's Joseph Gayetty started selling it in 1857, with his name printed on every sheet.
I do so love the Internet - you learn something new practically every day.
