My wife started buying Who Gives A Crap for our household a few months a go and we love it. We went the "mid-tier" quality (although we experimented with the the lower - 1ply tier at first wasn't that bad either). We also get the huge pack with 10 or 20 boxes of tissues included.

> Most mainstream toilet roll brands source their wood pulp from boreal forests in Canada, which are very old and take between 20 to 50 years to regenerate.

it's this kind of crap (pardon the pun) that makes us feel good about using recycled TP.

also, i have to give a shoutout to whoever Who Gives A Crap's copywriters are; the stuff they put on the undersides of the tissue boxes and TP rolls is genuinely hilarious. I worked along side great copywriters years ago, and I can just picture those kind of people sitting around brainstorming funny stuff to adorn the wrapping with.

edit: it's made from bamboo, not recycled.

Why use much TP at all?

This is an oxymoron; an old tree between 20-50 years? Young lumber trees are a least twice as old as this.

Doesn't look like they sell anything but 3-ply now.
