SAVE $$ - AND STOP FLUSHING FORESTS -- USE A BIDET


Stop using toilet paper, and fight deforestation and climate change. Why flush a forest ecosystem down the toilet? Better to bidet!  ßFunny video of first-time users.

Scientific American says we use 36.5 billion TP rolls each year, wasting 15 million trees, 473 billion gallons of water, 17.3 terawatts of electricity, and 253K tons of chlorine - plus packaging & shipping.

Popular globally, except in North America, bidets are healthier for your body, prevent hemorrhoids and UTIs - and are hands-free, so less spread of germs, and a blessing for those with physical limitations.

A non-electric toilet bidet attachment costs ~$40-$70 and installs in ~15 minutes.
