A social media challenge movement originating on Reddit with aims to contribute to environmental efforts such as Save The Turtles and others as well as to preserve the toilet paper supply during the Coronavirus pandemic. Participators are expected to complete these aims by avoiding using water or toilet paper to clean their ass. The logic behind the movement is that if many people stop using toilet paper during the pandemic, the demand will go down and the supply will be able to recover and sustain people throughout the pandemic after the month of April. The decreased water demands will also reduce energy usage worldwide and reduce the amount of fossil fuel emissions when added to the existing effect of less cars on the road.
