When you have a child, there just seems to be so much waste and I feel so guilty everyday about my carbon footprint, so I really make the extra effort where I can to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Marcal Small Steps helps us to reduce that footprint, as it is 100% recycled paper. In the past, recycled meant that the product produced from recycled material would be hard, scratchy, and cheaper quality. This is not the case with the new and improved Marcal Small Steps. I would not say that it is cotton soft, but I would most definitely say it is the softest recycled product at the highest quality of standards.
Between using disposable diapers, wipes, baby food jars and more, I feel more socially responsible using Marcal Small Steps products. Did you know that Marcal has been recycling for over 60 years? I remember first hearing of the word recycle in the mid 90s – so I think it is pretty impressive that Marcal has been doing their part even before the recycling revolution took place!
Marcal has been gracious enough to provide a giveaway prize package of Marcal Small Steps products for one lucky reader!

There is no such thing as a “green” paper company. That is impossible – they destroy everything around them, whether they recycle or not. It is purely a marketing ploy. And insulting for them to claim to be “green”.
Marcal recycles because it is cheaper to do so. So the way to sell an inferior product, but still make money, is to convince the consumer they are helping the environment by using their product. Even though that is a bold faced lie.
Marcal has contributed to massive air and water pollution, and continues to do so. But they are eco- friendly? That is tough for me to believe.
This is a plain and simple marketing ploy. They could care less about the environment, and all their actions show it. Anyone who buys into that message is a fool, and doing a disservice to those who really care about the environment, and our children. Take the time and look it up. The answer is to use less paper. Paper towels, napkins and facial tissues are all easily replaced. For toilet paper, buy a bidet. But don’t buy into Marcals false claim about them being “green”. That is an out and out lie.
