  3. Recycled toilet paper has higher levels of BPA than traditional TP. Try No.2’s BPA-free toilet paper instead!

  6. Having trouble recycling your paper shreds? You can reuse paper shreds as packing material or even donate it to an animal shelter who uses it as bedding. If you’re feeling crafty, you can make your paper out of old paper shreds.

  7. New research from the University of Oregon suggests that plastic bags’ carbon footprint is less than for paper bags. Reusable bags for the win!
