Toilet paper, we’ve all got to use it. But what if wiping your bum could help revitalise regions affected by the 2019-20 Australian bushfires? Well, good news. This hy-poo-thetical is now a reality. How We Roll, a company that specialises in recycled toilet paper, has teamed up with One Tree Planted, a non-profit charity that has planted over 15 million trees worldwide, to help reinvigorate the floral life of these affected communities.

Now, for every box sold, How We Roll are able to plant one tree in one of Australia’s bushfire-affected regions. They’ve planted over 3,000 trees since their launch at the end of May, and in July alone they were able to plant 1,552 trees. How good is that?

To make sure that these new trees will assist the renewal of these affected regions, One Tree Planted has chosen trees that will provide the greatest overall benefits. This includes various types of native trees and companion plants, which will help to rebuild wildlife habitats and regenerate healthy ecosystems that are also resilient to climate change.

There’s a belief that recycled toilet paper isn’t as good as normal TP, which isn’t true. How We Roll‘s recycled three-ply toilet paper is made from 100% recycled paper pulp, and is as strong and soft as any other brand. So you don’t need to worry about sandpaper-like feel or accidentally poking your finger through a sheet while wiping.

How We Roll also have three-ply toilet paper made from bamboo, which is one of the fastest growing plants in the world and can thrive in areas where other plants can’t. It’s also naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic, so you don’t need to worry about any added chemicals causing an unfortunate flare-up in an unfortunate place.

How We Roll can deliver it straight to you front door, so you don’t have to worry about hauling a huge package home from your grocery shop. They also offer a subscription service, which means you can set a regular schedule for products to be delivered, while also getting a nice 10% off discount on top.

Their products aren’t just limited to toilet paper, either. You can also order How We Roll‘s bin liners, paper towels and tissues. They’re compostable, biodegradable, and you can get them delivered straight to your front door. You can also grab a roll of “Dogo Bogo” bags, so your four-legged turd machine can lend a hand too.
