Save the planet – shit in the woods

I’m often asked, “Ria, how can I help the United Nations Framework Conventions on Climate Change and Biological Diversity?”

Well now there’s a simple solution.

Enviro-roll
Enviro-roll: toilet paper impregnated with native seed

But hey, don’t take my word for it, read more here.

The paper acts as a water/nutrient retentative agent, once used there is no need for other fertilizers etc…

Whoever said environmentalists had no sense of humour?

    “Ria, how can I help the United Nations Framework Conventions on Climate Change and Biological Diversity?”

    Annoying isn’t it? I get hassled day in day out by people asking me the self same thing. Except they don’t call me Ria. Obviously. They call me Backroads. Except they don’t really. Call me Backroads that is. Or ask me that question come to that.

    I’ll get my coat.

    Sigarlfred, repeat after me: my taxes are for the good of the community. Go on. I dare you to say it ten times without stopping.

    Well, now when some nosy ass… er… nosewipe asks where I’m going when I stand up in the restaurant, I’ll tell them I’m going to plant a tree.

    On reflexion, that needs more work.
