Eat your heart out @Margaret63 - this morning I was able to buy t/p. I thought of @kengaroo and other native lovelies
and purchased - icare 3 ply made from 100% recycled paper.

Made from paper not trees so Carol and Karl Koala might have more to eat and more places to sleep.

Woke very early and thought of lovely next door and decided to do the trip but leave if packed. Fortunately almost empty
so got what little I needed but was stopped at the check out because I had 2 boxes of 10 long life soy milk. It's how I would normally
buy.

No good looking - these days you can only buy 2. Was in and out in under 5 minutes with bleach as well. Didn't even
look for sanitiser but when I was at check out I got a squirt and horrified the lovely - no no big e that's for us. Too late. LOL

Was leaf raking nature strip when up bounded my brown eyed handsome man - so happy to see me the big boy. Hairy
beast and C happy to have an intelligent chat she flattered - from 12 ft apart.

Get me a box of the soy milk I'll photo on camera and get 2 each time I shop which will be rarely. In bounded hairy inside
then out again.

Had a bit of rain. Had planned to text or phone C but she is now good with work for a few more months as are her staff. Great
and all working from home. Plus she is assured of payment but after that - all up in the air.

She too aware of sudden fear of my neighbour - she hears things when sitting outside with the beast in her back garden.

Haven't even seen any news today. LOL Sun now out. Stay well all.

Lovely post @big e

I will just try to keep this simple

Recycled paper is one of the worst environmental disasters unknown to man.

Paper pulp comes from wood chip. With wood chip for paper pulp you want the cleanest wood possible as to make white paper, the amount of bleach required is exorbitant and toxit to our society.

So, to reduce bleaching needs, pine is selected as the raw material.

Pine in Australia is exotic. We do not have a pinus species native to Australia.

Pinus eliotii
Pinus caribaea

Are the two major species planted in massive plantations in NSW and QLD.

Pinus radiata is the most common in southern NSW and VIC.

None of the pinus species are ever eaten by Koala's or any other native species of animal.

The trees are planted as a crop, specifically for the purpose of harvesting, as we do with wheat and a myriad of other crops.

These massive plantations are significant in their oxygen production, but more important to the point, they are massive absorbers of atmospheric carbon.

So.

When white paper is put in the waste bin, the waste is taken to land fill.
The land full is buried. The paper (wood pulp) disintegrates and composts into the soil. The carbon from the wood fibres is released and then stored naturally within the soil.

Therefore, throwing away used paper is extremely good for the environment.

Recycled paper on the other hand is an envonmental hoax..

The paper has to be bleached a second time, to remove ink and colour. The fibres once again have to undergo digestion to separate out the shives for reconstitution.

The paper is formed again and then the shive size ratio is compromised.

The pulp must have more virgin pulp added to give the paper strength.

The pulp is then bleached a second time.

Implications :

Paper is not returning its carbon to the soil.

The amount of bleaching is killing fish due to the effluent being pumped out to sea.

The release of carbon due to double and tripple production in order to achieve 'recycled'

Is a Negative for the environment in every way possible
