No more toilet paper?

Toilet papers, which the entire developed world uses,are made from ' virgin wood.' It is probably time for advanced countries to learn from poor and developing nations of Asia. Their way of washing is more nature friendly and maintains basic hygine. The Economic Survey is against execcive use of toilet paper and believe that there should be a behavioral change. A single roll toilet paper uses 1.5 pounds of wood, 1.3kwh of electricity and around 37 gallons of water.In this respect Ashian countries provide valuable lessons yet they remain excluded from mainstream discussions.
