I buy recycled tp, the brown unbleached recycled if I can (but there is only one store that sells that and they are far away, so it doesn't always happen because I don't drive), but yeah, I wish sprayers and bidets were common here so at least we might use LESS. Of course, it's even worse than just more tp being used, because people here use wet wipes since there is no sprayer! They (hopefully) put them in the trash, but some put them down the toilet and then they clog the plumbing and clog the water treatment plants and... sigh.
One day I will not be surviving barely by my fingertips and I will have a sustainable home, I hope. In the meantime I try and lessen my damage living in this system of madness.

Life in society is not set up to be sustainable or earth friendly. Humans actually make it hard to be good to nature. Most people really live for convenience, not for values, so it's easy to turn the other way while someone else carries away or covers up our destruction. Wipes are an obvious manifestation of that.
Doing what we can to make change, and also moving ourselves into a position to where we will be able to live a more sustainable reality, is at least a step in a beneficial direction. I hope your dream will be a reality for you--your heart is in the right place!
