Time for Birds

June 14, 2009 | Dr. Jeff Wells

A recent article by Time Magazine highlights the home habits of Americans that are destroying millions of acres of bird habitat. Here is an excerpt:   

"Toilet paper containing 100% recycled fiber makes up less than 2% of the U.S. market, while sales of three-ply luxury brands like Cottonelle Ultra and Charmin Ultra Soft shot up 40% in 2008. Compare the U.S. desire for an ever plusher flush with the more austere bathroom habits of Europe and Latin America, where recycled TP makes up about 20% of the at-home market."
