Greenpeace once again is wiping up the problem:

QuoteRecycled Tissue and Toilet Paper Guide
The Guide makes it quick and easy to find out which brands of facial tissues, toilet paper, paper towels, and napkins are truly green and which should be avoided. Our experts have carefully evaluated over 100 brands and recommended those that: contain 100% overall recycled content; contain at least 50% post-consumer recycled content; and are bleached without toxic chlorine compounds.
When you're doing your grocery shopping or just stopping by the corner store to grab a roll of toilet paper, make an informed decision as both a consumer and someone concerned about the world's ancient forests.
Not only can you download the guide to your computer or iPhone, you can also
take action by filling out a form letter and sending it to Kimberly Clark for their crimes against tissue detailed below:

QuoteTell Kimberly-Clark that you're not the one cutting down forests
Several recent news articles quote a Kimberly-Clark (K-C) spokesman as saying that Americans demand forest destruction for toilet paper:
From The Guardian: "Dave Dixon, a company spokesman, said toilet paper and tissue from recycled fibre had been on the market for years. If Americans wanted to buy them, they could."
He simultaneously bragged that nearly half a million metric tons of deforestation is some sort of improvement in the company's practices. (Read more here.)
Only Kimberly-Clark can create a policy that protects ancient forests from being made into tissues and toilet paper. Write to K-C and let them know that you'll only use recycled products, like those found in our tissue guide, until K-C cleans up its act.
Mine's white.
I wipe with enriched uranium. Fuck you Greenpeace.
If you've got green on the toilet paper, you should probably see a doctor.
Green is good.
I wipe my arse on a dead dolphin.
Mine is white, soft and multi-ply. Fuck you environment.
Did anyone look at the list of good and bad toilet paper? I wonder what their asses look like after using the "green" toilet paper. All the good brands are completely ungreen.
The Kirkland stuff I get in vast quantities is red on their little list there, but....hell...I just can't handle rolls of toilet paper that aren't individually wrapped in plastic anymore. -_-
"Good for the environment" toilet paper is akin to sandpaper, with woodchips in it, and splinters...
Fuck Greenpeace, I am over 40, I figure that the recent trends show I will be dead before the environment gives out, and I don't have kids to worry about...fuck the future too.

Does that beat my clubbed baby seals? :unsure:
I'm considering swithing from toilet paper to dead environmentalists to wipe my ass with. It would be a money-saving thing; I can't make my own toilet paper, but I can kill my own environmentalists.

:lol: Watch out for the spine fin.
What was all the buzz a while ago with some groups and celebs coming out saying we should use only one square of toilet paper? Anyone remember that? :huh:
checks:
100% Recycled, 40% Post Consumer, Oxygen bleached/100% Processed Chlorine Free from the Green Supply House.
we buy in bulk, wholesale, don't know how the price compares. it's good to see there's up to 90% PCW content out there, I am impressed.
quality wise, one would not know the difference. and because of my high fibre diet, I usually have good clean shits that fall like precision bombs, so I don't have to use that much. ;)
I use a baby seal to wipe my ass. And then flush it.
Don't know or care how green it is, but the wife better get the quilted TP next time she goes to the store or there'll be hell to pay :mad:

When I was in Budapest back in 89 the little old ladies at the public restrooms only handed out two squares. No Communism for me, thank you very much.
Recycled toilet paper- it costs twice as much as the normal stuff, is of generally inferior quality and has a name that makes people wretch.

In USSR, there was no toilet paper at all in the public bathrooms. It was ingrained in Russian psyche to take everything that isn't bolted down and isn't watched, and so you never had one on hand. If you had to take a shit in the public bathroom, your only hope was to have newspaper with you. Later on you couldn't even buy TP in the stores for home consumption, so it was blackened asses even at home.

So they "couldn't spare a square...."

How does one go about getting recycled toilet paper? That just sounds nasty.

Hehe... well, it's certainly just recycled paper being used. Given that many of us are now recycling a lot of stuff now, hopefully there is a market for it.
