UNC is often characterized as a liberal university, and right off the bat, we get painted as whiny, lazy millennials who complain too much.
We’re here to fulfill that expectation by complaining about one important topic which often goes unspoken. It’s something all students have faced during their time at UNC: one-ply toilet paper.
It’s everywhere — in the Union, the residence halls, the academic buildings and even the libraries — if they’re even miraculously supplied.
As a students at UNC, there are some expectations I have that must be unquestionably met, even exceeded.
One-ply toilet paper simply does not do the job, and how could it?
A measly, thin sheet of tissue paper that even mummies would be embarrassed to use should not be the standard at an institution like UNC.
If someone doesn’t do a job properly or to your expectations, your first inclination is to fire them. And that’s what we need to do with one-ply toilet paper: get rid of it and hire someone better.
I hate to do this, but I’m going to use Duke as an example.
In 2013, Duke wiped out their one-ply toilet paper for two-ply because of its better quality and because it can reduce paper usage.
