EAST WINDSOR, CT – Friendlygreen.org today announced so-called green alternatives to tissue paper products.
 
The online resource offers links to articles and Web sites that provide information about the environmental impact of everyday products.
 
The pulp and paper industry, for example, which includes tissue product manufacturers, is among the world’s largest generators of toxic air, water pollutants and waste products. It is the third largest generator of global warming emissions, says the site, and those emissions are projected to increase 100% by 2020.
 
In North America, tissue products can be made from post-consumer recycled materials or agricultural waste, says Friendlygreen.org, sparing old growth forests.
