We use toilet paper every day, but we have have so many unanswered questions about the product. By answering these questions, we not only learn more about a product that is important to our lives, about what it takes to be the best toilet paper.

Around here on the Reel Talk blog, we talk a lot about sustainability, bamboo, and, of course, all things bathroom related. But today I'd like to shift gears and introduce you to something I'm really proud of: Reel Paper's giveback of biodegradable toilet bags to people in Africa.

We all have a bathroom routine. Whether you think about it or not, there are some things that just happen naturally – from brushing your teeth to wiping your bum. So it's easy to take the products you use for granted and forget to look at what's really touching your skin. If you want to live a more sustainable lifestyle, it's time to take a look.

Plastic is everywhere. You cook with it, you clean with it, and it even garnishes your morning iced latte from your favorite coffee spot. However, overuse of plastic products can hurt the environment. Swapping out your plastic goods with products made from sustainable materials can be all it takes to leave a dramatically smaller footprint on the earth.
