Poetry in the loo can cut down on paper use too, says a Japanese group campaigning to save toilet paper as part of the country's battle against global warming.
Simply pasting a "toilet poem" at the eye level of a person seated in the cubicle can help cut toilet paper use by up to 20 per cent, a study by the research centre Japan Toilet Labo showed.
"That paper will meet you only for a moment," reads one poem.
"Fold the paper over and over and over again," says another.
Or just: "Love the toilet".
Now the group is looking to have its posters displayed in 1,000 public toilets.
Perhaps J Cosmo could come up with an offering?

I have to agree - J. Cosmo for the shitee

ReplyDeleteLet's be frank now, this is aimed at the female population. Time spent perusing poetry increases the drip-dry effect, therefor less bogroll needed.

I love loo paper! And, because I buy recycled paper made from former magazines, newspapers etc.. then I think it is all right to use lots!
ReplyDeleteInstead of getting people to use less, they ought to be focusing on getting people to use the right kind of loo paper - ie. not the fancy quilted type...
If you really really care,to save a Polar bear.
ReplyDeleteUse less paper, you do not need an acre!
Or should that be shit House Poetry?

And of course the following poem defeats the whole purpose :
ReplyDeleteif you sprinkle when you tinkle,

I thought the Japanese used those fancy high tech toilet/bidets with the robo squirting jets. (I just bought myself one actually, and best thing ever!) What do they need with toilet paper?
