A loooooong time ago, I said (Evil Tissues) that I would hunt down Cascades brand of bathroom tissue and paper towels and let you good people know how it stands up to the other, non-recycled-killing-our-ancient-forests types of paper (read: Kleenex, Bounty, Scot Towels, Charmin, etc, etc). Here's my review.I can't tell the difference between Cascades 100% recycled papers and the evil stuff I used to use. The toilet paper is not rought, the paper towels are absorbent and come in select-a-size.
To not notice a difference is pretty much the point, isn't it? I did not pour some blue liquids on my counter and compare the absorbency of Cascades with the "other" brand...nothing nearly so anal. I simply bought them and tried them, and since no one noticed, I've continued to use them.
This is the brand I hunted, found, tried, and like. I'm sticking with Cascades. At the time that I was looking for them, there weren't many choices, or many places to find them, but choices abound now, and here's where to make your selection:
Greenpeace Shopper's Guide to Ancient Forest Friendly Tissue
Follow the link above, and you'll be taken to the Greenpeace Shopper's Guide. Choose your paper type (toilet paper, paper towels, tissue paper or napkins) and you'll be given a list of brands which are either green (go ahead, use these), yellow (try not to use these), or red (better off getting some leaves to do the job with).
Cascades are also available in a lot more places than when I first went looking for them, and you can find where to get them here:
