environmentally friendly??

Take a look on some of this pics.. beautiful wedding gown for a wedding, but

would you believe that this gown was made from toilet tissue?
This a kind of enviro-friendly wears but to think more deeply does it really an environmentally friendly..??

toilet tissue was first used by Chinese in 6th century AD. Then lets see how was the toilet tissue was made of.

Toilet paper is generally made from new or "virgin" paper, using a combination of softwood and hardwood trees. Softwood trees such as Southern pines and Douglas firs have long fibers that wrap around each other; this gives paper strength. Hardwood trees like gum, maple and oak have shorter fibers that make a softer paper. Toilet paper is generally a combination of approximately 70% hardwood and 30% softwood.

Other materials used in manufacture include water, chemicals for breaking down the trees into usable fiber, and bleaches. Companies that make paper from recycled products use oxygen, ozone, sodium hydroxide, or peroxide to whiten the paper. Virgin-paper manufacturers, however, often use chlorine-based bleaches (chlorine dioxide), which have been identified as a threat to the environment.

So people, lets makes some prediction and mind calculation here if we are going to use and wear this "ecofriendly clothes made from toilet tissue", how many percent could it leads us to actually preserve the environment. But this dress of toilet paper will only be used one time then stored in a box. After the wedding, you can feel the dress against your skin daily…. or ’till the toilet paper runs out.
