Guest guest Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 From the Ethical Consumer website: Nouvelle recycled toilet paper You might be surprised to see a recycled toilet tissue brand in the list. But the company that owns it also makes toilet tissue from virgin forests, was the main US importer of wood from Indonesia and came bottom in a recent World Wildlife Fund comparison of toilet tissue companies. Brand owners Koch Industries, has been part of a team advising Bush on " conservative environmentalism, " or in short, deregulation. This agenda led to Bush statements that logging was good for forests and that dams were good for salmon. See our toilet roll report in issue 107 for alternatives.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Maybe its just in the UK. I had been buying it for several years. It seems to me that sometimes it is hard to find ethical items - the ones you think are turn out not to be :-( Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
