Try to go on a holiday like this, you might learn a thing or two. Also do we need toilet paper? More videos: story-hopper.com Talk about this video with our community: davehakkens.nl/community / davehakkens / davehakkens
Hi Dave, how do you set it up? I mean how to sleep with the locals, meet them et cetera. I understand there's AirBnB but firstly that has been greatly commercialised and poorer families won't have their place on there. How did you arrange that?
Very interesting way to explore and get inspired. I am from India, now studying in USA and I would say, more exposure to different cultures more ways we can find for sustainable designs
+Djoey my big backpack is crap, i got it when i was a kid at the boyscouts. I'd recommend my smaller goruck though davehakkens.nl/news/picking-a-new-backpack/
As an Arab we wash with water and dry with toilet paper. The water comes from a mini shower head near the bidet. I'll be honest that's the best invention lol just the idea of people just smearing (wiping) the poop without actually cleaning it with water disgusts me.
Also, wiping a dry, shitty asshole, without introducing some sort of water, is very aggressive treatment of such a delicate area of the body. Americans rip up their assholes with dry toilet paper and then wonder why they have all kinds of rectal disorders by the time they're 50.
Video says: "83 million rolls are produced per day. One tree produces about 45 kilogram of toilet paper. Which means we use about 27,000 trees per day". Well, 45 kilogram of toilet paper from one tree - is not probably correct. 83 million per day seems correct, because only in Russia they produced in 2019 about 14 million rolls per day. 27 000 trees per day seems correct if "National Geographic's Green Guide " that says: "Worldwide, the equivalent of almost 270,000 trees is either flushed or dumped in landfills every day and roughly 10 percent of that total is attributable to toilet paper, according to the latest issue of World Watch magazine." If we divide 83 million rolls by 27,000, we get 3,074 rolls from a single tree. If we take the weight of a roll of about 150 gram, we get about 460 kg per tree. So, in the video we should voice "about 450 kg" instead of "45 kg".
I'm sorry but yes we do need all those trees as toilet paper... each house in India doesn't even have their own toilet yet - that's why there is such a problem with billions of people shitting wherever they feel like... nasty
