Save trees, water and the world with bidets

Congratulations to you, the bidet user, for deciding that saving water, saving trees, and saving toilet paper are all worth doing using your bidet! You could also go to the costume store and tie a cape around your neck because you’re a fucking superhero!

If you haven’t bought a bidet yet, don’t worry, I’m sure a local costume store has a good supply of superhero capes.

There has been more and more talk about what bidets are and how eco-friendly they can be. If you are environmentally conscious or disappointed in using toilet paper, earn your layer by buying a bidet.

Let’s talk about trees first, those big green machines that produce oxygen! I’m not a hippie, but I would say that saving trees is a pretty big priority considering they make our AIR. What monster would want to destroy something so beautiful and use it to clean countless from its cracks? I will remind you that dingle berries they are not found in any shrub or tree in nature.

So how is toilet paper made? Tree pulp is mixed with large amounts of water, chlorine, and other chemicals to produce the poop napkins we call toilet paper. This process also requires a large amount of electricity to press, roll, and heat dry the fanny packs.

A single toilet paper roll requires 37 gallons of water, 1.3 kilowatt hours (KWh) of electricity, and about 1.5 pounds of wood pulp.

Those are just the stats per roll; The numbers seem a lot more daunting when compared to usage across America!

  • 36.5 billion rolls of tp used annually
  • The average American uses 50 # of tp annually, or 57 squares per day
  • A family of four should buy a package of 18 tp approximately every 18 days.
  • Such a family would need to buy tp 20 times a year at a total cost of $ 180
  • The production of TP requires the pulp of about 15 million trees annually.

Well, we understand that bidets are a forest-friendly product and will save trees, but does this have an even bigger impact? Well yes, there are creatures on this planet that are not human, believe it or not. These creatures need trees as a habitat and food source for countless species around the world.

This means that the use of a bidet really combats deforestation. Do you want to earn your cape now?

Now, you might be thinking, “Well the bidet uses water to clean you, that’s a waste!” I would add that a bidet uses less water, about ½ cup per use compared to the 37 gallons used to create the UNIQUE tp roll. Not only that, but tushy fabric packages take up a LOT of trucking space for manufacturing and retail stores. Fewer sales of toilet paper would mean fewer trucks and fewer trains contributing to carbon emissions.

It’s true that bidets will never completely remove toilet paper despite using less water. Even with the most sophisticated bidets on the market, many users will feel comfortable grabbing a few squares of crack tissue to dry off. This is fine, but we asked our superhero bidet users to consider the many eco-friendly toilet paper options that are emerging on the market.

Products like Whogivesacrap are one of many forest-friendly products that power natural and renewable waste cleaners.

Now let’s go over a typical bathroom return scenario. You run your business, bidet clean, and grab a handful of stopper paper for a solid 1-2 cleaning hit. You find that you only need to clean once instead of 3 or more times! How many of us were toilet trained to basically keep cleaning until the paper is clean? By using the bidet, you will save toilet paper and significantly reduce the amount you use on each trip to the can.

What if I told you that water can’t clog a toilet?

Let’s take this one step further RINSE. That white wad of crack blanket you just tossed is going to end up in your pipes and / or septic system. I love fighting for a plunger when I see the poop water rise to the edge, don’t you think? It’s simple, less toilet paper in your pipes or septic means fewer clogs.

Do you think buying wet wipes or “disposable wipes” will make you immune to clogs and backups? I advise you to look for a picture of a fatberg. A fatberg is literally a huge block of paper, plastic, and other unnameable things that stick together with the grease and oils that end up in the pipes. These things grow to the size of a car and weigh several tons!

Slightly different from what sank the Titanic, these fatbergs are disgusting. Most importantly, they are 100% preventable and only get worse with the use of toilet paper.

This is an honorable salute to our caped heroes, with their buttocks firmly planted on their bidets, saving the world one jet at a time. More than that, it’s a call to action for others to join their heroic ranks! Anyone can be a hero with a bidet!

The world needs more superheroes. Come earn your cape.
