The thing with Seventh Generation is in the way they are able to whiten their paper towels w/o the use of any harsh chemicals. Back in the day, recycled towels are only scratchy and turned to mush on contact because it was the only way they were able to be made. In this day and age, you can literally make the towel as strong as one of those reusable absorbent towels being sold at CVS among other places that were mentioned on TV.

Did you know? Black and white newspapers work just as well as paper towel for cleaning glass! I was skeptical myself until I tried it, but it really works! Too green for newspapers? I’m sure you can find one on a bus, in a waiting room, or tumbling its way down your street.

Hey! Thanks for the great info about paper towels. I love 7th Generation’s products.

I was browsing through a bunch of green websites and blogs and I came across yours and found it very interesting. There are a bunch of others I like too, like the daily green, ecorazzi and earthlab.com. I especially like EarthLab.com’s carbon calculator (http://www.earthlab.com/signupprofile/). I find it really easy to use (it doesn’t make me feel guilty after I take it).

Are there any others you would recommend? Can you drop me a link to your favorites (let me know if they are the same as mine).

Dagny, Grist has a good, Consumer Reports-style comparison of different green paper towels compared to Bounty. Thought you might enjoy it: http://www.grist.org/advice/products/2008/04/22/index.html

I haven’t tried Seventh Generation’s TP, but the paper towels vastly exceeded my expectations. It kind of makes me wonder, do people really NEED a paper towel that is so strong they can wring it out and use it again? Does anyone really do that? Do people mostly use paper towels to clean up an *entire jug* of spilled milk?

I also think it would be cool if green companies had the display space in stores for people to touch and try their products, since most people are unfamiliar with them and have preconceptions. Or, in the case of CFLs, have a lamp with a CFL in it that people can turn on and off and/or compare it to a regular bulb.

I have been using Seventh Generation products for years now and love them. The only bad thing is I can’t convince the rest of my family to buy them. My dad feels the toilet paper is cushy enough and the towels aren’t as absorbent. As you say, it works for the purposes I use them for and I also use them very sparingly. I feel better about using these products over regular paper towels and toilet paper.
