Toilet-Paper Rolls

We use recycled toilet paper here. No chemicals. No dyes. No bleach. Thin brown paper that biodegrates quickly. The kind of paper that many people despise because it falls apart in your hands as you use it. We burn the waste paper. It does not take long. Overhead on the bamboo roof of the porch, toilet paper rolls turn into insects and beautify the space with their tissue wings and pipe-cleaner antennae. We recycle just about everything here. And remind the children that La Madre Tierra does not like when we use lots of electricity and batteries. Turn off the lights when you leave. Blow a kiss to Madre Tierra.
