Abstract

The article discusses the significance of using recycled tissues and paper towels than virgin-forest toilet paper in Canada. According to Greenpeace Canada, abstaining from using one roll of virgin-forest toilet paper for every household could save about 48,000 trees, 3200 cubic metres of landfill space and 65.5 million litre of water. It states that one way to encourage more manufacturers to produce environmentally sustainable products is to let consumers buy recycled toiletries.
