Sorry, Trees, But Seattle's Behind Comes First

So here's your update on yesterday's Seattlest poll, inspired by the NRDC claiming that luxuriously soft toilet paper is "worse than driving a Hummer!" since so much toilet paper comes from virgin forests. We wondered if green Seattle was putting its derriere on the line for the forests and the answer is--not so much! Only 29 percent of you reported using recycled-content toilet paper. And by far the largest contingent, 47 percent, were double-ply softies. We don't judge because we're luxury tp-ers, ourselves--we've always felt like we were balancing it out with the one-ply stuff you get in public bathrooms but perhaps that's just an ad hoc rationalization. Here's a scary photo over at Sightline to show us what our quilted habit costs.
