Dear Georgia-Pacific,

The other day I was getting out a fresh roll of toilet paper and I noticed on the side of the box it says, “Now EPA Complaint.” I’m a huge fan of buying bulk (mostly because I am cheap!), but I’m a bit concerned. If this said “EPA Compliant” I wouldn’t be worried, but the addition of that “Now” makes it seem as though previously my bathroom tissue was not compliant with the Environmental Protection Agency. What was wrong with it before?

Obviously my primary concern is where I’ve been putting this product. Wiping various areas with tissue that is environmentally unfriendly is troublesome at best. I only want the highest quality anywhere near there! Part of me wants to say that the EPA should have nothing to do with what I choose to use to wipe with, but another part of me thinks we need an agency to govern just such a thing!

Well, congratulations on your recent EPA compliance. I still want to know what was wrong with your toilet paper before.

Sincerely,

Christopher L. Jorgensen
