Just like with tissues and paper towels, we don't need a fresh new tree to make our toilet paper. Recycled sounds just fine to me. I knew switching to recycled toilet paper would be good, but I didn't realize how good. Did you know that if every household in America replaced one (just one!) virgin fiber roll with one recycled roll it would save 295,000 trees? So even if we all realize we hate recycled toilet paper but just give it a try one time, we would be doing good.
Ps. Seventh generation toilet paper comes in a paper wrapper, not plastic! Woo! Also, like most recycled paper products, it is whitened without chlorine which is a dangerous toxin for the environment. Remember to look out for things like that.
