Hi there!
I'm just dropping in to let you know that there's no need to bring loo roll to Glastonbury this year, as we'll be supplying enough 100% recycled for everyone!

Thanks for the heads up about the competition.
On this issue of free recycled toilet paper, I have to say I disagree with it. Yeah, everyone might ask, 'How can you disagree with recycled toilet paper being given away for free?' 'Easy' I might answer. Giving anything away for free will increase demand, to the point where people will take it even if they don't need it. And possibly use more of it than they otherwise would do.
Therefore, leading to an increase in toilet paper usage and wastage, recycled or not!
None of which can be good for the environment.
OK, it's recycled, but there's still a power usage involved in the actual recycling process. Also, I imagine that the majority of people would already use recycled toilet paper. So all that's happening is usage is increasing, and the brand gets exposure.
