Greenpeace USA has begun a
campaign urging shoppers to avoid forest-made tissue and
towel products and switch to recycled content products.
Their basis for concern is clear: conventional
products are causing of a lot of wear and tear on the
environment. Millions of trees are harvested for the
manufacture of tissue products in North America and Latin
America including the treasured old-growth forests of
Canada.
"Tissue
products that are made from recycled content help to reduce our impact
on ancient forests, protecting forest ecosystems and wildlife," said
Greenpeace Forest Campaigner Lindsey Allen. |
"No
forest of any kind should be used to make toilet paper," says Allen
Hershkowitz, a senior scientist and waste expert with the
Natural Resources Defense Council.
We are proud
of the fact the for the last 5 years For the Good of It has only
used 100% recycled tissue and towel products for our everyday needs.
Fortunately recycled and Green Seal certified products are readily
available at For the Good of It.
