Nobel Peace Prize winner, Al Gore, is set to receive a year's supply of 100 percent recycled toilet paper to his home in Nashville, Tennessee from a Queensland paper company after he was lost for words recently when asked if he used recycled toilet paper at home.
Dubbed the 'Noah of modern times', Gore appeared on the Nine Networks national breakfast program TODAY recently and discussed the modifications he's made to his home to minimise his carbon footprint, including solar panels, new light bulbs, a geothermal system for heating and cooling and a rainwater collection system.
However, Gore came unstuck when asked if he used recycled toilet paper, admitting he "would need to check that,"
SAFE, part of the company that manufacturers 100% recycled toilet paper saw the interview and shipped Gore a whole year's supply.
"If you're a climate change campaigner, as Gore is, then you should definitely be leading by example and using toilet paper made from 100% recovered paper," SAFE said.
"It's one of the easiest everyday changes you can make to help achieve sustainable living."
Merino hasn't heard whether Gore has put the free SAFE shipment to use, but is hoping next time he's down under he'll be promoting the use of 100 percent recycled toilet paper as part of his global climate change message.
I can testify that it is a bit rough, but does the job. I wonder if this is part of the US Australia Free Trade Agreement. At the time it was agreed, there was a great deal of cynicism that all the benefits would be too the US. Well it appears that is indeed the case as Australia continues to clean up the messes created by US Politicians and their friends.
Thanks Scopical
