And rational pricing for paper towels & paper de toilet. I might want to roll my neighbor's front yard some night but not at these prices ..... 🧻🧻🧻

🤣🤣🤣. In all seriousness, I wonder if this is a forestry issue. I believe that the smaller trees are harvested for pulp and if that isn't happening then there will be supply and demand issues.

A major issue with paper products and the forever chemicals is thy are introduced through the bleaching process. Unbleached toilet paper has fewer chemicals and napkins and paper towels and . . . .

It's a racket! Bamboo can often be used in place of trees/wood pulp. 💔🤗

Forestry is a big business in Alabama. Pine trees are planted on land and harvested 20 years later, replanted, etc. It’s used for kid’s college funds, retirement, etc. I have a friend who is in the tree harvesting business, and it’s been a tough go these last 4 years. The mills aren’t open as much now due to downturn in building because of high interest rates. Hopefully, that ends this year!
