Flush out the facts on toilet paper sustainability in this eye-opening episode of The Backyard Naturalists! As an award-winning podcast hosted by certified nature enthusiasts—including Master Naturalists and Wildlife Ambassadors—we're diving into the environmental impact of one of life's everyday essentials.

Join us as we break down the latest findings from the Natural Resources Defense Council's The Issue with Tissue report, which grades popular toilet paper brands based on their environmental impact. We'll explore the critical role of Canada's boreal forests, why recycled content matters, and how some major companies are still falling short when it comes to sustainability.

If you've never thought about what goes into your toilet paper, this episode just might change your perspective! Tune in for simple ways to make greener choices and learn how your purchasing decisions can help protect our forests for future generations.
