If it's in the stall then I'm more likely to use less because I know exactly how much I need. We in the west are definitely a paper society. I heard on the CBC recently that the average person prints off 30 pages a day at the office despite the fact that computers will help us move into a "paperless society". I'd almost rather carry around a roll of tp in my bag like I did in Uganda. I always had a flattened roll in my bag in case I ever needed to use it.

I fall victim to the same thing ALL the time, especially in winter. My thought about the toilet paper in the bathroom thing (it was the same in China) - if you are responsible for bringing your own toilet paper it probably makes you more conscious of how much you use. So in a way, it's a inadvertent way of being environmentally conscious (especially since TP is WAY overused...kinda like paper towel...and really and sort of paper product in our society :S ) Ha!
