Nick's references to toilet paper make for an interesting suggestion as to how to reconcile Peter's dilemma. Peter can figure out how much wood went into his kayak, and figure out how many rolls of toilet paper that's equivalent to. He can then go without using toilet paper so as to save this amount. Then his conscience can be at rest.
