Amazon.com Product Description
Seventh Generation Bathroom Tissue is made from 100% recycled paper, with a minimum of 80% post-consumer materials. Whitened with an environmentally safe process--never with chlorine bleach--this tissue is the healthy choice for your family and your environment. Made from 100% Recycled Chlorine-Free Paper
By choosing Seventh Bathroom Tissue, you'll be making an important environmental difference immediately. These paper towels are not whitened with chlorine and are made from 100% recycled paper (80% post-consumer, 20% pre-consumer). Hypo-allergenic, unbleached, fragrance-free, and made without dyes or inks, this tissue paper is safe for septic systems and ideal for low-flow toilets. Post-consumer paper is paper that has been recycled at home or at the office. Buying post-consumer paper helps finish the job you started--of saving the earth's natural resources, including trees, water, and energy. And using products made from post-consumer recycled materials helps reduce the need for virgin wood pulp, which means more trees are left standing. Trees naturally absorb carbon dioxide--a greenhouse gas that's the primary contributor to global warming. In fact, a single tree, over its lifetime, absorbs about one tone of CO2. To put it another way, a ton of recycled paper saves seventeen trees. If every household in the U.S. replaced just one roll of 500 sheet virgin fiber bathroom tissue with 100% recycled ones, we could save 448,000 trees, 1.1 million cubic feet of landfill space (equal to 1,700 full garbage trucks), and 161 million gallons of water, which is a year's supply for 1,270 families of four!

 good--as far as it goes, that is August 31, 2007

Seventh Generation makes a fine brand of bath tissue--even if it's not exactly Charmin soft. I prefer the texture of Scott bath tissue so for me this product was not a huge difference. I enjoyed knowing that I was helping to keep our planet "green" when choosing this bath tissue.
This bath tissue is made of completely recycled paper--80% of which is post consumer material! Great! All this DOES reduce pollution, just as they advertise on the wrapping of the roll of toilet paper. The wrapping is great and the bath tissue is whitened without using bleach. I am very impressed. Predictably, this bath tissue is not just kinder to Mother Nature; it's easier on those of us who are sensitive to scents. It is hypoallergenic; and it is perfectly safe for toilet and septic systems just as Amazon notes above. Of course, there's always a limit to how much paper will go in one single flush down the toilet; but most people have an intuitive sense about this so it shouldn't be a problem.
Of course, bath tissue never "goes stale," so if you catch a sale on this product stock up on it! The rolls can be stored in the package they come in; or you can store the rolls individually in various places throughout your home where they will be needed.
Unfortunately, there are three concerns. First, Seventh Generation bath tissue is comparatively expensive to most other brands of bath tissue. People on a budget may simply not be able to afford this product. Second, some people will protest the feel of this paper since, as I wrote above, it's not exactly Charmin soft. Third, this paper is also too thin for some people's tastes; one ply toilet tissue can mean that you wind up using more to do the same job. I'll take off two stars for these issues even though I personally like this product. I know that in time Seventh Generation will figure out a way to make this bath tissue stronger, softer--and cheaper.
 Great Guilt-free TP January 10, 2006

Besides being 100% recycled and made with non-chlorine bleach, this is the softest tp in the 100% recycled category. I've never had problem with breakage. The quilting makes one soft side and one rough side, so remember to fold soft side up and you will have no problems with roughness. Compared to Whole Foods prices, this is a great deal!
I also recommend the facial tissue. It is stronger than Kleenex, and works just as well.
80% Post Consumer. Great product April 21, 2006

Not as soft as certain brands, but fine, and not as rough as let's say, Scotts or a cheap generic. No plastic wrapping, which I love. 80% POST consumer content, which is rare. 7th Generation is good like that. When you check the label on some supposedly "green" brands, they are actually recycled with pre-consumer content. I don't even understand that... In any event, the roll is fairly large, so it doesn't run out instantly, and they are easy to store and stack. I think the price is very reasonable in light of the features. And you get to have a clean conscience -- you know exactly where all those TPS reports that you threw in the recycling bin are going!
 Bought the single-ply by mistake November 25, 2007

We use quite a few Seventh Generation products and I had previously purchased a case of the 2-ply bathroom tissue. When I reordered, I got the 1-ply by mistake.
We're using it, but I will be glad to see it go so I can get the 2-ply again. I would gladly sacrifice a little comfort for what is hopefully a more environmentally friendly product. This version, however, just isn't usable.
If you are considering this, I strongly recommend the 2-ply instead.

Shipping is free. Much cheaper to buy it here in bulk on Amazon than at Whole Foods. It's an easy thing to do to help save trees from being cut down. Pretty pathetic that trees are destroyed just so people can wipe their butts with new, bleached paper. Use Seventh Generation!
