Sustainable Product of the Week: Trader Joe’s 100% Recycled Toilet Paper

Category : Featured, For the Greenhorns, Health & Beauty

No one really knows how to talk about toilet paper. Those of us in the modern world think of this as a simple necessity while many of those around the world do not have such a luxury (ever wonder why you’re not supposed to shake with a certain hand in some countries?). But why spend lots of money that you are just, er, flushing down the drain anyway?

Well, recycled toilet paper to the rescue! What a great idea! Recycle all the paper we use anyway and recycle it into something we’ll also use. The problem, however, is at most grocers the recycled toilet paper is often more expensive than the regular paper. So what is an eco-friendly apartment dweller to do short of purchasing a bidet?

Well, you can buy Trader Joe’s 100% Recycled Toilet Paper – twelve rolls for only $3.99! It is 80% post-consumer product recycled and scored an impressive “green” rating with the Environmental Resources Defense Council tissue guide. For that price, I can purchase a four-pack of recycled toilet paper at my conventional grocer. Hm, twelve versus four for the same price…

Thank you Trader Joe’s for yet another fabulous product, not to mention the amusing bathroom reading.
