Well Lightwalker, something has to thin the heard, especially if we are all living to 75+ years of age.:shrug: As for the softness of the recycled stuff, personally, it isn't that bad. Most of the heavy stuff that I have tried just clogs up the toilets anyway, it's like flushing a towel.
Whether you agree with the ban or not, can you at least see the connection between deforestation and destruction of species and their environments and how that deforestation degrades the entire food chain that we all rely on for sustenance? Personally, caring about the health of the planet is caring for your fellow man in my opinion, I just wish that it wasn't given such a bad name or at least used as a tool in politics by political strategists to further divide and conquer for purely political gain regardless of party affiliation.
Our parents and some of you as well may remember when you returned your bottles for a refund and didn't have to worry about recycling and islands of plastic floating in the sea. Our society has become so fast paced and yet lazy that we are drowning in our own success.
Just makes me wanna buy a flashlight!
