Made from 100% Recycled Chlorine-Free Paper
By choosing Seventh Bathroom Tissue, you'll be making an important environmental difference immediately. These paper towels are not whitened with chlorine and are made from 100% recycled paper (80% post-consumer, 20% pre-consumer). Hypo-allergenic, unbleached, fragrance-free, and made without dyes or inks, this tissue paper is safe for septic systems and ideal for low-flow toilets.
Post-consumer paper is paper that has been recycled at home or at the office. Buying post-consumer paper helps finish the job you started--of saving the earth's natural resources, including trees, water, and energy. And using products made from post-consumer recycled materials helps reduce the need for virgin wood pulp, which means more trees are left standing. Trees naturally absorb carbon dioxide--a greenhouse gas that's the primary contributor to global warming. In fact, a single tree, over its lifetime, absorbs about one tone of CO2. To put it another way, a ton of recycled paper saves seventeen trees.
If every household in the U.S. replaced just one roll of 500 sheet virgin fiber bathroom tissue with 100% recycled ones, we could save 448,000 trees, 1.1 million cubic feet of landfill space (equal to 1,700 full garbage trucks), and 161 million gallons of water, which is a year's supply for 1,270 families of four!

In an effort to save money and the environment, I used to get the thinnest, least processed-seeming toilet paper. The roll lasts forever, is single ply, and is quite cheap. Last time I went to the store, I decided to get this seventh generation paper (which is frustratingly NOT in the same aisle as the rest of the toilet paper, but is in the special health food aisle at the other end of the store) and was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. It was soft and fluffy, but still lasted a good while (not as long as the single ply, of course, but you can't have everything). I am completely converted. What I don't understand is why they don't have (at least some of) the paper in the regular toilet paper aisle. It is very competitively priced, and I think way more people would buy it if it were sitting right there next to everything else (though that might be more an issue with Albertson's, not Seventh Generation). Anyway, this paper is highly recommended!
Does this paper get the job done? Yes. Does it do so with 100% recycled paper, a significant portion of which (80%) is post-consumer? Yes.
And maybe the (slightly) grainy texture of the paper even encourages me to use less of it. From a global perspective, I know that's a good thing.
But part of me (you can guess which part) does still long for the old days, when I ignorantly used super-soft triple-layered quilted toilet papers.
Seventh Generation, if you're reading this: maybe a "deluxe" version that's both green AND super-soft?
Tip for users: one side is much less grainy than the other. It's worth identifying the softer side!
I have only tried about 4 different brands of recycled toilet paper, but I like this one the best so far. The price is a bit higher than I would like. Also, it is a bit annoying that some stores put all of the 7th gen products in to the same place instead of with other similar products (TP with the other TP). Lastly, since we have decided to take up a nomadic life, we can no longer use 2-ply paper. Our mobile septic (RV) needs 1-ply. So far, the only brand that offers recycled 1-ply (that I have found) is Marcal small steps. They are priced nicely and have coupons in the newspaper.
