Buying Green (Paper) - CFC Jan 5/6

Things we should always buy "green":
1. Paint
2. Paper
Why? 38.9% of household waste is paper. Paper made from virgin materials contributes to deforestation and requires more energy to produce.
Paper products (including printer paper, notebooks, paper towels, etc.) with a high post-consumer recycled content. It takes 60% less energy to manufacture from recycled stock than from virgin materials, and saves trees in the process. Also, use cloth alternatives when possible, such as cloth napkins and dish towels
What to buy instead? Using a cloth alternative (canvas bags, cloth napkins, dish towels) would be best. OR buy paper products with a high post-consumer recycled content.
