LIVING GREEN - Monday, June 2, 2008

 

Good

morning,

 

Have

you balked at taking your recycling habit to the ex-

treme

of buying recycled toilet paper? Don't worry. It

wasn't

made from used toilet paper. Junk mail, newsprint

and

light cardboard make up most of that recycled paper.

Using recycled

paper products is an important part of

eco-friendly

living.

 

*

Recycled products mean that we aren't using up natural

resources

on paper plates or toilet paper.

 

* Less

energy is used to recycle paper into another form

than to

make paper for the first time.

 

*

Recycling keeps the waste down in landfills.

 

* When

possible buy unbleached paper. Many paper products,

including

some made from recycled fibers, are bleached

with

chlorine. The bleaching process can create harmful

byproducts,

including dioxins, which accumulate in our air,

water

and soil over time.
