Whether it’s quilted, cottony-soft or recycled, toilet paper still has a long way to go before it eschews the dubious honour of being an ubiquitous symbol of a wasteful society. So it’s always a good idea to: a) not use too much; b) to get treeless TP; or c) to just get a bidet (psst… it’s actually cleaner). It’s also worth repeating that if everyone used toilet paper like we did, there would be no forests left. But this humble roll can change.
A tug is met with resistance as the roll’s squared corner encounters the edge of the metal dispenser. “Kata,” says the roll. “Kata-kata-kata,” each corner voicing protest as it passes. Need is no longer met by silent compliance. The roll will yield, but not without dissent. The result, hopefully, is a heightened consciousness of use.
A speaking toilet roll may be too much, but squaring off overuse is a step in the right direction.
