Imagine changing one of the biggest paper consumptions any family has into a green choice, easily, using the same brands you know and trust. Scott is a household name when it comes to personal paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, paper napkins, ect) has come clean, I mean gone green. heh. I've always wondered why more paper companies have not offered a green option, or even just converted all their products into more green friendly products.
Scott Natural paper products can have up to 80% post consumer recycled fiber, on the paper napkins, and 40% on the toilet paper. This means with no more change than buying a trusted brand in basically a different packaging you are making your family more green without having to sacrifice anything! No more excuses people you can make your first baby steps to living greener without even noticing!
Seriously enough I try not to use paper towels unless I have to, though there are times where its hard to avoid like cleaning up nasty puppy messes or using them to cover food in the microwave. All in all I probley use one paper towel roll every three months. However, my mother can use an entire paper towel roll in a day or worst. Though I'd really love to convince her to use cloth at least I can breath a little easier when I know her Scott Natural Paper towels are made with 60% post consumer recycled fibers! Not only that but the packaging is recycled as well! Let's not even get started on what sort of impact we could have in my family alone if all our toilet paper was from recycled fibers!
Have I peeked your interest yet? Well even if your not as obsessed about going green as I am you can't deny that Scotts is a quality brand. Why would you even bother buying anything else when you can have quality AND make a difference in the world around you. We owe it to our children and our grandchildren to at least make an effort. I don't expect people to change their lifestyles and I am not this super hippy everything has to be green sort of girl. My goal is to make one small change a year, or as often as I can, every baby step makes such a huge difference over a person's lifetime. Sure I fall off the train myself at times to, I was on a six month stretch where I recycled every piece of paper that came across my desk and to be honest with you other than the fact that I still print my coupons on the backside of printouts that are no longer useful, I totally stopped recycling paper. Don't worry though I'm gonna get back on that horse and get back to it.
As far as Scott Naturals? I forsee my toilet paper stash getting a little more green as soon as my current stash is gone.
Scott would like to give one lucky reader a gift bag to get them started with the Scott Naturals line and start them on their own green journey! The gift bag includes some of my favorite easy to go green items. Scott Naturals product coupons, Clorox Green Works items, a reusable shopping bag, green light bulbs and a reusable water bottle!

Recently the thing I've been focused on is using all green cleaners and laundry detergents, and making sure all the lightbulbs around the house are energy efficient.
Great contest, thanks!

We are trying not use our AC this summer unless we absolutely have to, and it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The hardest part is sweating at night when I am sleeping. We are also in the process of switching our incandescent bulbs over to halogens. It is pricier, so we are doing it one bulb at a time.

I recycle everything possible and turn off unneeded appliances and lights.
we are using reusable bags
I buy most clothing and household items used, and donate or sell those items I don't need, rather than send them to the landfill. This is easy on both my pocketbook and the planet.
We recycle all we can even our clothes. We belong to freecycle.com and try to reuse everything. We also switched out our bulbs.
We totally switched from plastic water bottles to using eco-friendly bottles, and we try not to buy anything in the grocery story that has plastic packaging. We always take our cloth tote bags when we shop for groceries!

I find it interesting that so many of the little changes I'm making are things my parents did automatically, like turning off lights and unplugging appliances, hanging clothes out to dry, and reusing/recycling/repurposing. I know I'm not going to give up on paper products, so I'm very happy that Scott is using recycled fiber. And the SCOTT® Choose-A-Size™ is great for helping you to use just the right amount.
I hang all my clothes out on the line instead of using the dryer. No more bottled water, recycle everything the city will take.
I bought organic cotton sheets this year and really like them. We are also gardening organically, using CFC light bulbs and trying various organic cleaners.
We use CFC light bulbs, recycle, purchase some organic products and natural cleaning products when I can.

no paper towels - only cloth napkins, no paper plates - only ceramic or whatever plates are made of, and phosphate-free soaps to save our drinking water supply and to keep my house's gray water from damaging the environment as much as the regular stuff.
We put low flow water aerators on our faucets to reduce the amount of water we use and also save energy from heating extra water.

We try to recycle as do the others who have posted, but we also try to reuse plastic containers with lids for storage. I share my newspapers, magazines and catalogs with others. I reuse shopping bags by using the plastic ones to carry things. I use the paper grocery bags to wrap packages for mailing and I also use these when staining the baskets that I weave. I am always looking for ways to reuse items we already have. Thanks! senekers@comcast.net

I've tried to make a number of changes to my daily routine to do my part to make the world a greener place. For example, I've initiated a recycling program for my small apartment building by setting up bins in the entryway and taking them to the nearby center each week. I've made an effort to unplug non-essential devices and appliances when not in use. I've cut back on my water usage by taking shorter showers and running my washing machine and dishwasher on more efficient settings. And I've started walking and biking a lot more than I used to to cut back on my fuel usage. I hope all of these small measures add up to reduce the size of my carbon footprint.
