"Formaldehyde is also used in sanitary paper products such as facial tissue, table napkins, and roll towels. Most insulation material, moulded products, and paints contain formaldehyde derivatives, too. Environmental/food toxins: Many babies are born toxic due to the toxic load of their mothers. Blood samples from newborns contained an average of 287 toxins, including mercury, fire retardants, pesticides and Teflon chemicals, according to a 2004 study by the Environmental Working Group (EWG). Teflon: This chemical in cooking pots is also carcinogenic." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"State of the art papermaking technology transforms office paper, magazines, and boxes into clean and sanitary Green Forest paper products." Green Forest was 100 percent recycled content but only 10 percent postconsumer paper—well, that could be better. I also researched Seventh Generation, which is the company that has the most transparency and what would appear to be the very best product. According to Seventh Generation, their products are 80 percent postconsumer recycled." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "Replacing just one three-pack of white 70-sheet, two-ply paper towels with Seventh Generation paper products in all U.S. households would prevent the release of almost 63,000 tons of greenhouse gases. ?If every household chose just a single 500-pack of their one-ply napkins over their usual nonrecycled brand, we would save 120,930 tons. ?Doing the same with a 12-pack of 400-sheet, two-ply bathroom tissue would save 170,317 tons. ?" - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Sustainable Forestry ¦¦¦¦l Wood and paper products might seem to be an environmentalist's best friends. After all, they're made of a renewable raw material—unlike, say, plastic bags, each of which sends a dollop of petroleum on a one-way trip to the dump. But the devil is in the details. Factors such as economic desperation, lax regulation, and greed have conspired to make logging a problematic venture for both wildlife and humans. Some environmentalists would have us believe that every logging job is as bad as a clear-cut—that parkland is the only good use of a forest." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) "Take the pulp and paper industry: is it in the business of turning trees into paper products, or is it in the "forests and fibers" business, managing forests for the long term and recycling paper for the things we need? Paper or forests? Or take the petroleum industry: is it in the business of pumping and refining fossil fuels from the earth's crust, or is it really in the business of providing energy, which might increasingly take the form of renewables or biofuels? Oil or energy?" - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Although soy protein isolate (SPI) was certainly in use prior to 1958, it was only as an industrial product to bind and seal paper products, not as a food. It does not qualify as a product having a long history of safe use in the food supply and it is also known to include toxins and carcinogens. In 1979, the Select Committee of GRAS Substances (SCOGS) took a look at safety issues in the manufacture of soy protein isolate." - Kaayla T.
