Every Day is Earth Day

Earth Day was April 22, 2010, but we can celebrate it year round by practicing little green habits every day.

Eco + TP squared = Save our Forests

Sheryl Crow once suggested that we ration toilet paper to one square per visit. Easier than rationing, consumers can really make a huge impact by switching to eco-friendly disposable paper products. "If every household in the United States replaced just one roll of virgin fiber toilet paper (500 sheets) with 100% recycled ones, we could save 423,900 trees," (Natural Resources Defense Council).

I recently bought Marcal toilet paper and I'm really impressed with the quality. The quilted hearts and sturdiness are its best attributes. The toilet paper could be softer, but I still prefer it to overly soft brands. The ultimate benefit, especially in this economy is that I bought the tp for less than the clear-cutting, common name brands.

Have you tried an eco-friendly disposable paper product yet? Please post a comment of which brand and its pros and cons.
