Seventh Generation toilet paper

Posted 06.28.2002 by Dave
On the front page of the Seventh Generation site is a picture of a mother holding a baby, gazing across a pristine lake to the fluffy white clouds of purity. With such an image, you know the world would be exactly like that picture, if only you used their environmentally-friendly products.

Seventh Generation makes recycled toilet paper. As an environmentally-conscious poop site, I endorse it, even though I've never used it. I was going to buy some this week, but it was $2.50 for a four-pack, vs. $.99 for the regular stuff. I'm not a rich man.

Although this paper didn't get rave reviews, I may change my mind. After all, check out these stats -- if everyone used recycled paper, the world would indeed look a whole lot more like that image I talked about above.

If it's brown already, how do you know when the job is done?

I'm so good at clogging up toilets, I can make mine back up when there's nothing in it.

Double Flush, that is a very good question!

Seriously, though, I don't recall this TP being brown. It is sort of a whitish gray. Which brings up another question. As N.I.L pointed out, most recycled paper products are brown, from napkins to notebook paper. In order to make it white it must be bleached. Does Seventh Generation bleach their toilet paper, and if so, how does THAT help the environment? (Not to play with fire here, but I wonder.)

Double Flush gets two extra points for astute observation above.

_I have to agree with The Shit Volcano, How does bleaching TP help the enviroment. I don't think I will be trying out this TP anytime soon, wiping my butt with bleach isn't my kinda thing.______
I'm here to prove that girls poop.

7th gen products are
"Whitened without chlorine bleach or unbleached"
and i feel good about supporting new technologies that bleach without chlorine
so i use the paper

Bettie, the bleaching of recycled paper is used to remove everything from printing ink to the ketchup you wiped from your mouth on a napkin. The water that is subsequently removed has bleach in it and can go to a treatment plant or recycled at the paper mill. There is little or no bleach in the final product. Chlorine bleach is the cheapest product out there for the job, and any other substitute will cost more. Unbleached product must be made from recycled and raw material. The recycled material must be free from contamination, and thus costs more to segregate from the recycle waste flow. I personally don't think using bleached paper is harmful to the enviornment or our assholes.
