Recycled Paper Facial Tissues (for strong sneezes!)
Who Gives a Crap? sells these fab paper tissues, made from post-consumer waste, and sold in colourful cardboard boxes. Known mostly for its recycled paper toilet roll, it’s now ventured into making a few other products, to stop deforestation for simple household products.
And this company donates 50% of profits to sanitation projects abroad, so that people have access to clean hygienic toilets.
Sold in boxes of 66 tissues, these are are free from scent and dye, and are strong 3-ply (the company says they are so strong, they can cope with the strongest sneezes – even ones that sound like a mini-scream!
At the website, you can buy 12 boxes for £18.00 (66 strong tissues each). And as we all know, a strong tissue means less tissues used). And shipping is free on most orders over £20.
Just bin these tissues for hygiene to naturally break down. Don’t flush them (they are thicker than toilet paper and could clog drains, and cause fatbergs and garden floods (which will not make you popular with your neighbours).
They are good for cold winter season.
The tissues are lovely and soft, gentle on the nose. The boxes are bright and fun.
How to Safely Blow Your Nose
If you have a cold or bunged up nose, here’s how to do it – advice from the expert to prevent making your ears pop, rupturing blood vessels, or forcing air into your middle ear (not good).
- Place one finger against one nostril and apply pressure.
- Take a breath, then gently blow the other side of your nose, into the tissue.
- Then do the same on the other side.
- Then wash your hands, avoid passing germs onto others.
Why Choose Eco Facial Tissues?
Each year, millions of tree are chopped down daily (mostly in Boreal forests that are home to moose, elk, wolves and grizzly bears), just to make facial tissues that are then wrapped in plastic. Just imagine the effect if everyone switched to recycled paper, bamboo or washable cotton tissues instead?
