Recycled content toilet paper is often about as soft as the stuff you’ll find in a rest stop bathroom on the interstate. But according to Seventh Generation, making the switch even every once in awhile can make a big difference.

Even if you can’t commit to making the switch permanently, reach for a recycled roll every once in awhile. On the Seventh Generation wrapper, it says:

If every household in the U.S. replaced just one roll of 1,000 sheet virgin fiber bathroom tissue with 100% recycled ones, we could save:

• 469,000 trees
• 1.2 million cubic feet of landfill space equal to 1,700 full garbage trucks
• 169 million gallons of water, a years supply for 1,300 families of four

So, switch things up once a month and go for a roll of toilet paper that is made from 100% recycled content. Of the brands I’ve tried, Seventh Generation is the best.
