Eco Church
How environmentally friendly is your Loo Roll?  It's something we all use, every day.  Things to look for are: made from sustainable sources such as recycled paper, not bleached, fragrance free, ideally wrapped in paper rather than plastic. If you already buy eco friendly loo roll, could you influence someone else to do likewise, such as your workplace, or your wider family and friends.
