The Bum Gun in Thailand saves trees

The coolest device I've seen in a long time is the Bum Gun. It is a flexible bidet spray attached to every toilet in Thailand. It seems a bit foreign to an outsider at first but after using it a few times I'm hooked.

You don't need toilet paper with these and you are much cleaner faster. Here's how they are used.

The western world has some catching up to do but then again the sales of toilet paper is big business. Check out how many billions of dollars the yearly sales of the top 10 leading brands in the U.S. generates.

Not to mention the number of trees required to fulfill the need.

"The average American uses 50 pounds of toilet paper every single year. That breaks down to 57 squares per day, according to Mental Floss. Or, for another metric, that's around 410 rolls a year. At that rate, a two person household will go through a whole tree worth of toilet paper in 365 days." All that paper also has to be treated in our sewage treatment systems.

Are we stupid or do we just allow ourselves to be manipulated by vested interests in toilet paper production? It's time for America to get on with the 'Bum Gun Revolution' and clean up their act.
