Poll: Would you use re-useable toilet paper?

Briar Hubbard Reporter from Franklin County News

A new form of reusable toilet paper has emerged as an environmentally superior alternative to flushing all those trees away.

Introducing family cloth, a stack of soft fabric wipes that you keep beside the toilet.

Instead of one-time-only toilet paper that you use and flush away, pick up a family cloth and simply wipe, throw in the communal washing basket, rinse, and repeat.

So, would you give family cloth a go?
