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

[...] was no guilt there. We purchased all of our regular organic foods, and I even brought along our recycled content toilet paper! And in one week’s time, we created less than one bag of trash to [...]

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.

Gus – My search continues!

Tiffany – same complaint from my husband… he said he needs to use a TON of it because it’s too thin!

I loved this post! Over the last couple of weeks we have tried a couple of different brands (one being Scott, the other I can’t remember) and neither of them were a hit with the man. He usually doesn’t comment on tp, but he wondered what was up since he had to start using more than the normal amount. Oh well, he shall adjust!

This one is a no-brainer for me, toilet paper should all be made from 100% recycled paper. I think you need to convince him to give it time. After you get used to it you find that “softer” toilet paper also tends to fall apart and need more paper and more wiping – more wiping is worse than a somewhat scratchy paper.
