More on septic tanks
Third, I had to weigh in
on something that was mentioned in a letter about the septic tank article. One reader brought up “not flushing any toilet
paper” and to throw the toilet paper in a trash can instead. I feel the need to
point out the obvious; if we’re truly in a TEOTWAWKI situation, eventually
toilet paper is going to run out, probably much quicker than any of us would
like. I’ve read articles of people that even now do not use toilet paper in the
interest of saving a lot money and, of course, storage space. (No, admittedly,
I’m not one of them.) Instead, these people use rags to clean themselves, and
then they put the soiled rags in a small can with a lid next to the toilet for
storage until cleaning. It seems to me that this is a more realistic solution
compared to using up valuable storage space for an item that, let’s face it, is
very nice to have but we could survive without.
That’s my two cents from
the “left coast”. Thanks for everything, especially the knowledge! – MJ
