Question

What kind of toilet paper is not bad for the environment?

Answer 1

Scott

Answer 2

Seventh Generation

Answer 3

The best for the environment would be no toilet paper. This can be accomplished with modern japanese toilets. Cleansing is done with warm water, and the water is also environmentally safe because it is gray water (recycled water that is not potable AKA not fresh water that is ok to drink). Flushing is also gray water.

Answer 4

The more the better. It seems that toilet paper helps pollution breakdown into harmless particles. Littering the street with tp actually is good for ther environment.

To be serious the best for the environment is whatever you feel you are getting the best value for what you paid. Do not pay a premium for a brand that claims they are better for the environment, they are ripping you off.

Answer 5

Scott's is best for system and environment

Answer 6

Leaves.

Answer 7

Using nothing at all.  Since that is not an option for many, I recommend Seventh Generation.  Made from 100% recycled paper, and unbleached.  It is pricey, but the company makes very good home products.  I use many of them at home myself.

Answer 8

Scott's has a easily biodegradable toilette paper

Answer 9

There is no post-consumer waste recycled toilet paper ... thank god.

Just buy the cheapest.

Your ecological "footprint" is directly proportional to the amount of money you spend.  Because our lifestyle is based on how much energy we use, primarily fossil fuel energy.

So if you spend less money, you impact the environment less.

"Cheapest" means less effort was spent on product design, shipping, advertising, etc.  Fewer people were needed to make the same amount of product (economy of scale) who  each have their own ecological footprint.

Buying unbleached toilet paper made in one plant that is shipped 3,000 miles using transportation based on fossil fuels ... isn't really that environmentally friendly.

Answer 10

if there is such a thing - recycled toilet paper which is just made out of recycled cardboard and stuff instead of trees.

or maybe washing yourself after using the toilet.... eww that sounds gross.
