Buying recycled paper products is one easy way to do your part in running a cleaner, greener household.

Taking a step toward a greener life may be easier than you imagine. Small changes in your daily life—at home and at work—can make a big difference when it comes to protecting the environment.
Most of us want to do our part for a better planet, but with busy, overscheduled lives, often find the very idea overwhelming.

However, taking the first step to a greener life need not be difficult. Little things, like replacing your regular brand of household paper products for a brand made from recycled paper, can make a big difference.
Here’s an encouraging fact: If every household in the U.S. used one roll of paper towels or bath tissue made
from 100 percent recycled paper, it could save 1 million trees.

Making these simple yet meaningful changes are good examples to set for your children and provide a teaching moment at home.

It won’t require you to change your shopping habits, either, because a mainstream green brand, such as Marcal’s® new Small Steps™ line of paper goods, is already on shelves at grocers.

Going green doesn’t mean sacrificing quality, either. That’s a myth. Paper towels and tissue made from recycled paper still have the strength and absorbency you need to get the job done, from cleaning countertops to wiping noses. For more information, visit www.marcalsmallsteps.com.
