Show Notes:
In this episode of Guilty Greenie, we dive into the great toilet paper debate and uncover some shocking stats about its environmental impact. How many trees are going down the drain for your comfort? Are bidets really better? And what's the deal with bamboo toilet paper? Kate and Sarah unravel the dirty details of our bathroom habits and explore sustainable swaps that might just surprise you!
Episode Highlights:

- The Big Switch: Is bamboo toilet paper all it's cracked up to be? We talk about sustainable options and whether it's time to ditch the TP for good.
- Bidet or No Way?: Could water-based cleaning be a more eco-friendly option, or is it just a splash in the pan?
