When I taught my daughter’s Girl Scout Troop about using resources wisely last year, I emphasized the importance of taking small steps toward doing more for our planet. After all, I was working with a group of first graders, I wanted to make sure they understood that even the small things they could do were important. And really it is true for anyone, small changes add up to make a big difference. 

Scott Brand wants to help you make a small change — eliminate the tube.

Toilet Paper Tubes
What? The tube, how does that work?

Those were my first thoughts when I discovered Scott Tube-Free toilet paper. But it works just like your normal roll, no change except when you get to the end there is no tube to discard.

After I posted about Scott Tube-Free toilet paper earlier this month I had lots of questions about the convenience. Does the end of the roll fall on the floor? Does it get jammed up? And I am happy to report that we have had smooth success with switching to tube-free toilet paper. It was an easy change and with just one package, we eliminated the production and disposal needs of 12 tubes. Not bad for a small change.

Celebrate National Toilet Paper Day by making a small change in your TP habits and eliminate the tube.
