Got the sniffles? Kids Sick?

It is that time of year again when the colds, flu, and runny noses are in full force! We go through tissues in my house like crazy...I think I keep a box in every room so I never have to travel far to wipe a nose! Did you know there are recycled tissues out there you can use...yes, they are not quite as soft but if every U.S. household opted for a box of 100% recycled tissue instead of a box of virgin-fiber tissues, we'd conserve 163,000 trees! Okay that's a lot of trees for one box think of how many trees would thank us for all the boxes we go through each winter! Also most tissue paper's bleached with chlorine, which can combine with chems and gases in nature to form harmful toxins, so look for chlorine-free or oxygen-bleached.

Ideal Bite has done a great tissue test and come up with the winners of the best recycled tissues! Be sure to stop by their site to find the winners.

So next time you grab that tissue to wipe a nose, hopefully the trees will be thanking you...
