Activists hate American toilet paper
March 4, 2009

The Natural Resources Defense Council is campaigning against the use of fresh-forest wood for toilet paper. Their argument is that more American toilet paper should come from recycled sources, since they believe the use of virgin wood for toilet tissue creates pollution that leads to global warming. Manufacturers of toilet paper counter that managed forest growth contributes to net carbon reductions in the atmosphere. Either way, toilet paper is a major solid constituent in municipal wastewater, and well-designed systems use products like Gorman-Rupp self-priming pumps alongside grinders, bar screens, and grit traps to help ensure that waters are clear and clean when they return to nature.
