A new form of reusable toilet paper has emerged as an environmentally superior alternative to flushing all those trees away.

Introducing family cloth, a stack of soft fabric wipes that you keep beside the toilet.

Instead of one-time-only toilet paper that you use and flush away, pick up a family cloth and simply wipe, throw in the communal washing basket, rinse, and repeat.

Please let us know if you don't wish for your comment to be considered for print.
