Toilet Paper and Tissues
Buying toilet paper and tissues made from recycled paper is one of the most eco-friendly purchasing decisions you can make. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), "If every household in the United States replaced just one roll of virgin fiber toilet paper (500 sheets) with 100% recycled ones, we could save 423,900 trees." The NRDC also states that "If every household in the United States replaced just one box of virgin fiber facial tissues (175 sheets) with 100% recycled ones, we could save 163,000 trees." Like most recycled paper products, recycled paper toilet paper and tissues are available in both bright white and "natural" colors. It is recommended that you not purchase white, or bleached, paper products, as the chlorine used in bleaching paper has a detrimental effect on the environment. According to the San Mateo County RecycleWorks, "The bleaching of paper, whether virgin or recycled, is the leading cause of toxic water pollution in the United States."
