Toilet roll is a recent invention in human history. The first commercially packaged toilet paper was sold in 1857, in the US, by Joseph C. Gayetty. Until then, people used newspapers or magazines. Before those were invented, people used whatever they had to hand, including coconuts, grass, leaves, snow – and even corn cobs. In ancient Greece, people used pebbles of clay or pottery. The Romans, whose toilets were arranged in a row next to each other, shared a sponge on a stick that was rinsed in a bucket of salt water. Today in Britain, the average person gets through 11.4 kilograms of toilet roll every year. However, there has recently been a surge in sales of reusable rolls. So what do you think? Should people use reusable toilet roll?…
