Greenpeace: An environmentally and socially conscious resource for Detroit
Are you searching for an online resource which will give you great background information and documented criteria in order to choose the best environmentally positive paper products? Then http://www.Greepeace.org/tissueguideis the site for you.
The website got my attention by the first couple of sentences which state: “Did you know? Americans could save more than 400,000 trees if each family bought a roll of recycled toilet paper - just once. Recycled tissue products help protect ancient forests, clean water, and wildlife habitat. It’s easier on the Earth to make tissue from paper instead of trees. ”
The criteria used on this site includes the following:
“Amount of recycled content; Amount of post-consumer recycled content; And whether it is bleached without toxic chlorine compounds.”
Some of the examples of brands which carried a higher rating for at least one type of toilet paper, paper towels, paper napkins, or facial tissue include:
Green Forest www.greenforestpaper.com
365
Natural Value
Seventh generation
April Soft
Earth Friendly
Fiesta
Trader Joe’s
Atlantic
This website can offer one of the easier ways in life to make a choice to help our environment and all of our future generations. Very cool.
Note: The author of: Purposeful (Not Random) Acts of Kindness (AKA Beginning Steps for Overcoming Spoiled Brat-aholism) (www.purposefulnotrandom.com)) gives an environmental rating of “A” to this excellent organization‘s website!
