Greenpeace sent me this video link that you might enjoy.
If you’re not interested in cutting down forests just to blow your nose, then Greenpeace’s Recycled Tissue and Toilet Paper Guide, can help you make smarter tissue choices. The credit card-sized shopping guide, can help you find greener household paper products, such as facial tissues, paper towels, toilet paper, and paper napkins.
In the guide Greenpeace gives a thumbs up to companies like Green Forest, Natural Value and Seventh Generation. Kleenex (manufactured by Kimberly–Clark) was given an “avoid” score along with Charmin and Angel Soft.
The products recommended in the paper guide must meet three important Greenpeace environmental benchmarks: “They are made from 100 percent recycled content, a minimum of which is 50 percent post-consumer recycled content; and are not bleached with chlorine or toxic chlorine compounds.”
Get the Greenpeace Recycled Tissue and Toilet Paper Guide.
Coming up later some Earth Day minded reading for you to enjoy.
