A solution for the smallest room

My campaign to find a supply of eco-friendly toilet paper has finally ended. Having spent some time trawling through various supermarkets and finding only one brand which didn't use plastic wrapping (it comes in a bijou little cardboard box containing a few (undoubtedly choice) sheets - hopeless for a family) I hit upon CCL Supplies (see link) on the High Street in Chesterton.

This shop sells cleaning products, mainly to professional cleaners. The manager, Owen Moon, tells me that he makes the effort to source products from manufacturers with excellent environmental credentials - not only biodegradability, but also treatment of effluents, use of recycled materials, and energy and transport.

He stocks 100% recycled toilet paper, wrapped in paper. This is the interleaved kind, for a dispenser. Apparently he now supplies the City Council and this stuff is being used in the Guildhall. Hurrah. And to cap it all, Owen gave us a couple of packs to try out. What a star!
