Marcal Small Steps Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

Pin It
Based in Elmwood Park, New Jersey, we at Marcal Manufacturing have prided ourselves as being one of the oldest environmentally friendly paper companies in the US. Since 1950, Marcal has been helping families take a small step towards making a big difference…with affordable recycled paper products that are good for families and good for the earth!
I like to try to do my part in helping the environment. I may not be uber green like some people, but every little bit does help.

Something small that I can do is use recycled paper products around my house. Marcal Small Steps offers a variety of recycled paper products including toilet paper, paper towel, tissue and napkins.

Small Steps line of paper products are hypoallergenic, 100% recycled paper, free of dyes and fragrances, virtually lint free and manufactured without chlorine bleaching.

I recently had the chance to try out some products from Marcal Small Steps and I have to say, I am quite pleased. It is actually pretty soft compared to other recycled paper products I have tried. These are actually products I would use again and again.

There is a Tree Calculator on their website where you can actually calculate how many trees you could save by using Marcal Small Steps products.

trippyjanet said...

Wash your fruits and veggies in a pan of water instead of running water from the tap.

Cindy said...

Drink water from the tap, instead of buying single-use bottled water, which requires much more energy to produce, store and transport. It also helps keep bottles out of the landfill.

I've always done that. I'm not especially green. I just live in a place where the water on tap is much, much more drinkable than anything you can get in a store.

Use things like baking soda and vinegar to clean rather than commercial and often toxic cleaners.

Baking soda and vinegar can replace toxic household cleaners. I actually love this idea. So I ran back here to tell you all about it. :)
