Which is stupid because these can be made from recycled fibers and lumber yard leftovers.

Where do people think that non recycled paper comes from?
I thought it primarily came from farms and managed forests.
I'm pretty sure (most of?) the patches of boreal forest in question are managed.
Boreal just means northern and not the coastal rainforests or something. Y'know, the trees we have an almost endless amount of.
In some places it might. And i guess in a sense all forests are managed....
But yeah paper comes from trees. Trees grow in forests. Sawmills sell a lot of their chips and sawdust to pulp mills.
Yeah, there's a lot of trees up there, and they're the kind that grow back reasonably fast. We should hope that's where our paper is coming from.
The top three major American tissue makers—P&G, Kimberly-Clark, and Georgia-Pacific—earned “F” scores across each of their flagship brands like Charmin, Cottonelle, and Quilted Northern across all five editions of NRDC’s Issue with Tissue scorecard.
Basically, it's the best brands in terms of functionality and comfort.
It's the white, textured roll kind of paper towels.
I was thinking of those brown paper towels to wipe your hands with... e.g.:

There's a big smelly plant in Scarborough at Midland and Progress that recycles cardboard and paper to make boxes and paper towels like the above. It's not pretty but it's great for sustainability I figure.
Small dish cloths. I haven't used a paper towel in years
boreal that can't be real
