| 0:00.0 | I don't use toilet paper anymore, no, I mean not me, no, no, that's just the headline |
| 0:13.5 | of the story, I don't use toilet paper anymore, I wipe with the leaves to save money, that's |
| 0:22.2 | not me. Okay, that is Robin Greenfield 36, who claims to be an environmental activist, and he |
| 0:32.5 | has been wiping with leaves instead of toilet paper for a decade now. I guess things are going |
| 0:39.3 | well, he said he has no plans to stop, that's great. He said he began his journey, quitting |
| 0:45.2 | toilet paper by first using leftover napkins and tissues. Oh, it's so special, but about five |
| 0:52.7 | years ago, he realized that the leaf of a blue spur flower was perhaps an even better substitute |
| 1:00.7 | due to its size and shape, so he started using it as his permanent solution. All consumption of |
| 1:09.2 | toilet paper fuels deforestation and massive usage of fossil fuels in transportation. Now personally, |
| 1:17.2 | I would just like to be clear, I don't care. We're planning new trees, so we're growing new trees |
| 1:26.4 | for a new toilet paper, and guess what, the earth will create more fossil fuels for that transportation, |

| 1:43.5 | backyard. You could have toilet paper right there, it can be your wipe for the rest of your life, |
| 1:50.1 | I'm going to need more than one plant. Okay, I see the plant and it appears that I'm going to need |
| 1:57.2 | more than one plant and it's going to have to be grown for a while because I need bigger leaves. |
| 2:05.8 | So, I mean, you could do that if you if you want to, if you think you're making a difference by |
| 2:13.0 | using the blue spur flower leaf for your toilet paper while you go right ahead, I'm not going to |
| 2:22.1 | join you. Okay, all right, good. I know everyone wants us to go back to caveman days, but no, thank |
| 2:28.7 | you. I do not want to do that. I will say that I've, I could use a bidet. I would be willing to use |
| 2:35.5 | a bidet. That gets rid of the toilet paper usage and I don't have a bidet right now, very |
| 2:40.9 | disappointing. I've always wanted one. I know that you can get the attachments and I've told by one |
| 2:46.6 | person I know who has purchased this certain type of bidet attachment that it works great, |
