Play> *NooPoo Paper* mp3 NooPoo Paper stele c12 noopoo paper, noopoo paper noopoo paper is the thing noopoo paper, noopoo paper, ooo we all love the animals, so let’s all give back just put a little water on it, ~~~~~~ Here are some relevant TP posts. More notes: I like using phone books and junk mail for toilet paper. Adding water to the paper makes for non-toxic, super clean bottom. So first, I sacrifice by using non-cushy paper. But second, I celebrate knowing that some critters and future kids will be smiling a bit more because my pooping methodology. We – three roomates – have not used toilet paper in our house for over four years… scooby doo doo. Our used “phonebook poo paper” goes into the waste basket, and then the regular trash can. We don’t notice any additional odor in the bathroom or the trashcan. The relatively small amount of poo dries quickly on our ultra eco toilet paper. And even IF there were a slight to modest additional odor I would give a little smell-wise to give back a bunch life-wise. And thus, we do have a clean and sweet smelling home. By the way – compared to our phonebook poo paper – way dirtier dog doo and diapers are put into trash cans. I really do want to co-write an eco poo paper song with someone. www.VoxErth.net I like to help save the forests by using newspaper, phone directories and book pages when I go to the bathroom… cleaner and more fun than tp. Adding water to the paper makes it soft and for super clean bottoms. We have been using non-toilet-paper-paper at our place for over almost 2 years now. One big telephone phone book has lasted us 10 months. It’s not to save bucks, it’s to save those forest gems and it’s actually better. Yes, we still have a roll hanging in the bathroom for guests that we forget to coach. Reusing other paper as “Toe Ee Lot Pay Purr” is just sooo satisfying for me because I can get a fresher butt, and it saves our sweet forests and the critters. Our used poopy paper goes into the trash basket beside the toilet, then it goes in the regular trash after that. Because it’s fairly low humidity here in Colorado, it dries fast and does not smell. It feels soooo good to be pooing this way. As far as the trash company, compared to the poopy diapers going into trash cans, nooo comparison. (Thanks to Baby Boomer at Treehugger for saying that’s how they do it in some places in Greece.) Any songwriters wanna help me write a song about it at www.VoxErth.net? Resources: If you are a tiger living on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, this is your reality. Those with an ear to the ground regarding animals in peril around the globe have presumably heard about the link between manufacturers of toilet paper and tissue and the destruction of tiger habitat in Sumatra. As consumers, we are free to support brands that harm animals and the environment or reject them. Let’s work on increasing everyone’s awareness of this problem and on making deforestation and illegal trade things of the past. Animals are precious creatures that we all are meant to coexist with peacefully. If we don’t start now, when will we?

FRESH PAPER could be another rad name for the eco toilet paper that is simply newspaper and phonebooks.
Albeit: Berries turning to moldy mush, dying an ignoble death in the blink of an eye; beautiful greens transforming into brown slimy leaves; mushroom sprouting new forms of fuzzy life within their gills — these are the tragedies that befall too many a kitchen. In fact, 25 percent of the world's food supply is lost to spoilage.
The Massachussets-based company, Fenugreen, aims to address this waste with its simple innovation, FreshPaper. Fenugreen was founded by two friends, Kavita M Shukla, inventor of FreshPaper, and Swaroop Samant, a medical doctor. Kavita developed and patented FreshPaper while in high school, after she stumbled upon its spices and botanicals in a medicinal hot drink given to her by her grandmother in India to prevent a reaction to contaminated tap water. http://www.treehugger.com/green-food/simple-sheet…
Use Reusable Toilet Paper : For me, this one was an eco-conscious no-brainer … once I’d wrapped my brain around the concept, that is. I mean, of course! Cloth can be washed and used again and again. It’s less resource-intensive, it keeps tons and tons of waste out of landfills and waterways, and, bottom line, the “reusable” model is always a more sustainable choice than the “disposable” alternative.
Just think about toilet paper: Made from trees. Chemically-treated for “sanitation,” and bleached for “beauty.” Stark white antiseptic. Wrapped in plastic. Mass-produced in factories. Shipped across continents. Endlessly.
Then think about family cloth. Homemade. Cut from an old cotton sheet, a flannel shirt, a terry cloth towel. All up-cycled. And so soft. Washable. Reusable. Again and again and again.

I soooo hope more folks will at least give the reusable poo cloth, or phonebook or office paper as toilet paper a chance. For all the life that loves to live, give the gift to kids and critters of the future by not using toilet paper. Lot's of folks travel or camp while dealing with toilet experiences that are less than optimal – sometimes without toilet paper. And many come back home and say what a wonderful time they had and want to go again… asap. Why do the standards have to change for some people when they get back home? And many of us have dealt with those diapers from our sweet kids that were far poopier… no problem. It feels good to do the loving thing.
