My daughter and i just completed a science project on premium toilet papers versus “green” toilet papers to see which ones were the most biodegradable. We compared Scott Extra soft, Scott Naturals (the “green” choice), White Cloud, and White Cloud Green Earth. Surprisingly, the Scott Naturals was the least biodegradable. however, the White Cloud Green Earth was the most biodegradable and it was also soft and comfortable. Might want to try it out.

I read an article today & thought of this post. The green war on toilet paper.

Interesting fact: “Consumer Reports found that people often have to use more of rougher recycled and one-ply brands — so the environmental impact really isn’t that great.”

I don’t think you have them up north, but the southern food chain Publix has it’s own eco-friendly brand, Greenwise, and the TP isn’t that bad. My husband even puts up with it. Now if I could only get him to get rid of his Chevy S10 PIckup…. i think it must get around 5 MPG

Hi, my husband is a pretty picky tp man himself and marcal makes a two ply (the one ply is just as sc ratchy as seventh gen) 100% recycled tp that is available in many of the grocery stores in my area. It’s comparitively inexpensive too.

CJ – So fun that you’re trying a sneaky little switcheroo too! Seventh Generation isn’t so great though, I must admit! Have found a possibility in Giant Eagle grocery store brand… husband has given “temporary approval” until he sees the “long term effect!” hehe!

GW – that figures! I won’t shop Walmart but thanks for the recommendation!

White Cloud has come out with a 100% recycled bath tissue and paper towel that you would have trouble discerning from your regular brand. Price is lower than the leading brands too. Sold only at Walmart U.S. stores.

This story cracked me up because I tried Seventh Generation out on my hubby too recently. I started alternating it in with our Quilted Northern, even sticking some rolls in the open package of QN to see if he’d say anything. Nothing’s been mentioned but I’ve noticed if he’s the one to change the roll, QN always goes on, whether its the next one in the package or no.
