FLUSH & GO, REVISITED

The flushable toilet roll I blogged about earlier, much beloved among the professional toilet visitors, has been selected by overwhelming majority (they say) as the most superfluous product of the year by Finnish Nature magazine (Suomen Luonto). The environmentalist fury that valuable recyclable cardboard, worth of four sheets of toilet paper, is lost every time a flushable toilet paper roll shell is flushed down the drain. The story doesn't tell, but the author would imagine, that the same opponents are equally furious every time an honest toilet visitor goes on conducting his/her business and flushes down the toilet an amount of toilet paper equivalent of 1-8 flushable toilet roll shells. I don't know about the furious opponents, but at least the author wouldn't stand the smell caused by the used toilet paper in the bin. So still convinced, that shitty paper goes down the toilet!
