I don’t know if it is just me, but I seem to have this fixation about toilet paper. I cannot live without my stash of toilet paper – I always have to have extra in case I run out. Same thing with paper towels for the kitchen. More than quantity, however, I place such a [...]

People who are conscious of the environment and how their lifestyles affect it are looking into more ways to do their part in its conservation.
