I made the big switch to recycled toliet paper a few years back and I challenge you to do the same. I actually don’t ever buy paper towels I use rags that I make by cutting up dead bath towels. I am an extreme case though. I told you I couldn’t wait to swap enviro tips I can keep this up for days, maybe even 365.

There are a lot of brands you can choose from these days—this site breaks ‘em down by PCW content, bleaching process, etc:

We use either Trader Joe’s brand or Earth First—whatever we can get our hands on, so to speak. Did you know you can compost food-soiled paper towels? As long as there are no gnarly chemicals on ‘em—oh, try Method brand cleaning products if you can find them up there. They’re actually very good from a germ-o-phobe perspective, and they’re non-toxic. So, yeah, that would be my housecleaning tip o’ the day.

And thanks for the thumbs-up!

As I mentioned, I saw some at Baldwin Naturals as well as the Apple Tree by my house, but I’m sure they’re at Whole Foods or something too. Even if you have to buy at Loblaws, they at least have the PC brand of recycled paper towel, which is better than Bounty in my opinion.

Loblaws recycled green towels are OK.
In the 70′s we rejected coloured toilet paper as our sacrifice for the environment and look- we are still doing it!!
Why not write to Al Gore about his ecologically unfriendly monster home!!?
Perhaps we could stuff pillows with catfur.
mm need to think of interesting options!
love mum
