Tissues: not something many of us spend a great deal of time thinking about. As long as they does the job, what more do you need? But when you begin to consider where that paper has come from and the impact it has on forest areas, it starts to become a lot more interesting. That's why we've produced a new tissue product guide - search the guide to discover which brands of toilet roll, kitchen towel, and tissues are kind to forests as well as your nose.

A new Greenpeace tissue league table released today reveals how Boots and Somerfield are fuelling the destruction of forests around the world. These companies are bottom of the table, because they sell few if any environmentally responsible tissue products.

omerfield have told Greenpeace that it has no plans to start using forest friendly fibre, while Boots stock only one environmentally friendly tissue product across their entire range. This is despite Boots having publicly committed to move towards sourcing all timber and paper products from well managed forests in 1992.

smaGreenpeace today released a guide to which baby food brands are fully non-GM. The guide, which is part of Greenpeace's Shoppers Guide to GM, can be accessed online or by sending a SAE to Greenpeace.


None of the baby food on sale in the UK directly contains GM ingredients. However it can contain products, such as cheese, eggs or meat, from animals fed on GM feed.
