Win a month’s supply! If every household in the U.S. replaced one package of traditional toilet paper with Marcal Small Steps, together we could help save nearly one million trees. And, in your own home, a family of four could save two trees a year (17 trees over 10 years) just by switching to paper products made from 100% recycled materials.
Last week I received a free bundle of Marcal’s Small Steps line of paper products (think paper towels, napkins, tissues, and toilet paper) to test with my family. Like many Moms, with each passing day, week, month, and year, I feel more responsible to the planet – especially for the sake of our children. And the good news is that buying Marcal Small Steps (or other paper products made from 100% recycled materials) is one simple way for me to make a change in my carbon footprint – without even having to change any behaviors. I’ve maybe noticed slight differences in some of the products vs whatever brands I normally buy – but nothing to write home about – just the usual variety I find whenever I switch brands (ie tears differently, less thick, feels stiffer etc.) The absorbency of my paper towels was fabulous for cleaning up the kids spills too so that was a real bonus and probably toughest test for my Marcal Small Steps product review.
And the idea is that Marcal is priced competitive compared to many of the traditionally “green” products on the shelf that are often times more expensive than the less environmentally friendly ones. That’s what has made buying 100% recycled paper products a tough choice for consumers who are on a tight budget and need to watch every purchase.
Since it’s Earth month – we’re giving away a 1 month supply of Marcal Small Steps to one reader (kit valued at $25). Enter below by leaving a comment with your email address by April 30th, 2010.
Wow What a great way to help the Environment

Marcal is the biggest air and water polluter in the state of New Jersey. They have been fined almost a billion dollars by the EPA, and do much more harm than good. They filed Chapter 11 to avoid paying for the clean up, and also used it as an opportunity to break their union contract. Nice guys, huh? Then when they emerged from bankruptcy, they painted themselves green. For them to claim to be a green, eco-friendly company is a joke, as well as a lie.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Many thanks, Cindi
I like their paper towels but have yet to try the toilet paper. I’m a little hesitant to leave my Charmin. I do love what they stand for, I wish more companies would be as “green”.
I would love to try this product. Sometimes I’m hesitant of buying recycled paper goods because the ones I have tried are thin, rough and can’t with stand my usage and I’m always left disappointed. These sound like they are really great and would like to do my part in helping the environment.
What a great giveaway. I’ve been wanting to try these products!
MARCAL HAS SOME GOOD PRODUCTS

Marcal is a brand I already use. There products don’t have a fragrance like other paper products. Also they are strong and absorbent.
You can always use more of this product and I would like to try this.
These are so hard to find in my area. I do like the Marcal brand, though.
I clean houses on the base where we are stationed, and these would be a HUGE help! Love these products.
I’ve not tried these yet, but would love to. Thanks for the opportunity!

Would love this.

Nice prize. Thanks for contest.
I’m trying different green products to test them and see what I like. Also, we recycle and use a low flow shower head, I do believe trying to sane water is also a “green” step
