It could have been from a source where logging is unsustainable like much of Malaysia and Indonesia, even non-FSC certified Eucalyptus forests in Australia. <br /><br />If anyone is genuinely interested, just flick me an email through my blogsite and I've got some concise material. Pre-retirement, one of my responsibilities was implementing FSC certification in our own organisation.<br /><br />Just as an indicator of the importance of FSC certification, many organisations round the world including the Australian Govt won't buy any paper-based product which is not FSC-certified.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712432366544046987.post-40248855232952377632011-05-27T07:33:51.094+10:002011-05-27T07:33:51.094+10:00Lemmiwinks, you say 'time heals all bones'...Lemmiwinks, you say 'time heals all bones', but blues singer/songwriter Chris Smither says 'time will wound all heels.'The Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884172849865230486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712432366544046987.post-83994904288840505632011-05-27T07:28:20.487+10:002011-05-27T07:28:20.487+10:00Sue, may you heal soon.

Firstly, most of the so-called eco-friendly bog papers aren't. The only truly eco-friendly paper is that which has the FSC environmental certification logo on the wrapping. (you'll find it in Google Images). Same goes for any wood or paper product if you want to be really eco-fussy. I was going to say anal, but that would be tasteless given the subject matter.<br /><br />Oh, and toilet paper made from recycled paper (not recycled toilet paper we hope)often has a slightly lower tensile strength so watch how you apply pressure ;-).<br /><br />Well, that will have either educated you or you're comatose with boredom! <br /><br />Heal quickly....Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712432366544046987.post-58222279113171074492011-05-24T12:56:51.588+10:002011-05-24T12:56:51.588+10:00can you even sit on a cycle right now? course it ...can you even sit on a cycle right now? course it makes a body feel good just to be able to go and look at your fast darlin'.leecofarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870973943296684146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712432366544046987.post-29233395447533480412011-05-24T11:59:15.876+10:002011-05-24T11:59:15.876+10:00I see a serious case of motorcycle withdrawal.
