Ancient and other endangered forests are being destroyed to make toilet paper, facial tiessues, paper towels and other disposable paper products.  But you can help halt this destruction by pressuring the tissue products industry to change its practices and by making smart shopping decisions.

The complete green guide can be found at www.nrdc.org/paper .

By purchasing green products we will send a message to paper product manufacturers to stop using virging wood for throwaway products.

Saving forests helps reduce global warming pollution.  Trees take CO2 out of the air.  They are natures air purifiers.  Without them we will have serious problems.

PCF means processed chlorine-free
