If seasonal allergies have you achoo-ing and blowing your nose all day long, consider this before you reach for your next tissue. According to the National Resource Defense Council, if every household in the US swapped one box (175 sheets) of traditional facial tissues for one box of 100% recycled ones, we could save 163,000 trees. Remember when America’s love for overly plush toilet paper made the headlines recently as an incredibly wasteful habit? The variety of luxury tissues increases your tissue trash, too–triple ply, ultra soft, with added aloe–sounds like it’s time to change the way you blow.

Seventh Generation Facial Tissues will turn you into a sustainable sneezer. They’re made from 100% recycled paper and they’re packaged in a box made from 100% recycled paper, too. Plus, Seventh Generation whitens without chlorine bleach. Traditional tissues go through a chlorine bleaching process that releases toxic chemicals into the environment including dioxin.
