Recycled paper facial tissues (profits help build toilets abroad)
Who Gives a Crap? is from the brand known for its recycled paper toilet roll, the tissues are also sold in colourful paper packaging. These 3-ply tissues can cope with sneezes so strong, they sound like a mini-scream! And work out as affordable as any other brand, when bought in bulk.
50% of profits are donated to sanitiation projects abroad, providing access to clean hygienic toilets (which saves many lives).
Don’t flush disposable tissues down the loo, as they clog drains and cause garden floods (won’t make you popular with neighbours).
How to safely blow your nose
Apparently most of us don’t blow our hooters properly. This not only makes it more uncomfortable if you have a cold – but can rupture blood vessels and even force air into the middle ear. Next time you have the sniffles:
- Place one finger against your nostril, and apply pressure.
- Take a breath, then gently blow the other nostril into a tissue.
- Do the same on the other side.
- Wash your hands, to avoid passing germs onto others.
