Is this paper also non-chlorine bleached, as the paper at Earth's General is? Also, is the paper from Save-On-Foods still cheaper when you buy a full or half box of toilet paper from Earth's General Store? I find that it's necessary to call ahead if you want to buy that quantity of toilet paper from Earth's General, but it reduces travelling (another eco-friendly thing!) and it may (although I'm unsure as I don't buy these things for my house) reduce the price. Also, sometimes there is a call for paper towels - it's hard to go completely without them - so I'd recommend the un-bleached rolls also to be found at Earth's General Store. It's still paper but at least it's less awful. One further question: does anyone know of an unbleached, or recycled computer paper source? I managed to find a partially recycled computer paper at Office Depot but it was also highly bleached, to a brightness that we definitely don't need.
