‘Who Gives A Crap’ toilet paper rolls out for charity
A brand of toilet paper launches today that puts half of the profits towards building toilets in the developing world.
The campaign – called Who Gives A Crap – involves Simon Griffiths, co-founder and CEO of Good Goods, sitting on a toilet, on live webcam, until the organisation raises the first $50,000 via funding platform IndieGoGo.
The product, which is made from recycled paper and has a low ‘poke through rate’, is being sold in Australia and the US.
Griffiths said: “This is a new line of toilet paper that uses 50% of its profits to build toilets and improve sanitation in the developing world. In collaboration with WaterAid, we’re helping the world’s poorest people access clean water, sanitation and hygiene education. A product that everyone needs is now helping those in need.”
According to the charity, 40% of the world’s population does not have access to clean toilet paper.

An excellent week for toilet paper with Kleenex Gripples adding to the sheer joy of working on the white stuff.
On the one hand you can never tire of toilet puns. On the other, you can reach out for a good cause at the same time.
