Earth Friendly Toilet Paper
Today’s Eco-Friends ♥
It takes 60 percent less energy to manufacture paper from recycled stock than from virgin materials. Half of the wood we use goes into paper products, including toilet paper and the chlorine bleaching process used to make pure white and colored papers creates dioxins that affect air, soil and water quality. Dioxins are also known carcinogens.
If every household in the U.S. replaced just one roll of virgin fiber toilet paper with 100 percent recycled paper, we could save nearly 400,000 trees… Purchasing unbleached, recycled content toilet paper is a small step that can make a huge difference!
