1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda gam Nation really a story this morning 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: about a man who has turned his back on toilet paper, 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: which is the way you're supposed to use it. 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:11,399 Speaker 2: Lets, let's say it goes. 5 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: Instead of using toilet paper, he's used leaves for five years. 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: He doesn't live in the books. She lives a suburban life. 7 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: I'll tell you how it all began. He is thirty 8 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: six years old. He stopped using He's Americans, so he 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: was using wipes, which just clog up your toilet, and 10 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: you only leave those big fat burgers in the sewers, 11 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: and toilet paper as well. In twenty thirteen, and initially 12 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,319 Speaker 1: replaced it with leftover napkins and tissues. Napkins are going 13 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: to clog up your toilet, they're too thick. But five 14 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: years ago he realized that the leaves of a certain 15 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: flower were a much greener substitute. He said he hasn't 16 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: looked back since, not surprised because it'd be a mess. 17 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: So he's now hoping others will take a leaf out 18 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: of his book and try it themselves, because he's says 19 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: the consumption of toilet paper fuels to forestation. The use 20 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: of fossil fuels in transportation. So he has found a 21 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 1: perfect flower, or the leaf of a flower, the blue 22 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: spur flower, a plant native to Africa and South Asia, 23 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: the size of a piece of toilet paper, and it 24 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: has soft texture. That makes them a great alternative. You'd 25 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: like to think, sure they're soft, but are they strong? 26 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: He said? The flower can simply be placed planted at home. 27 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 1: So you've got a never ending supply of toilet paper, 28 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: right where do you plant that in your backyard?
