[pct-l] Leaving TP the cathole

[surferskir at aol.com]

Hurray, hurray for you!
I agree 100%!
You (and us) should be looking at the overall picture for the environment.  
Those plastic baggies take years to breakdown in landfills.
TP-once it gets wet will breakdown in the soil within two years.  (After all, not matter how soft they make it, it is still ground up trees).

I tend to agree with the individual that suggested, when you take your TP
out in a plastic bag you end up putting a biodegradable into a
non-degradable (Tim Gustafson ) - I thought we are trying to minimize
plastic into our environment? I boated for many years and found that there
are several types of TP that are more biodegradable - no binders added to
the paper in production! Used in the boating world all the time. Dig a good
size cat-hole, get the paper in deep enough and put a little water on it to
help the breakdown happen quicker - cover well! I think that is a better
formula than dumping plastic bags full of waste - how is that going to
breakdown in landfills??????
