Kleenex.
Why should you stop using Kleenex paper tissues? Read about Kleenex's environmental impact here, at Kleercut.net.
What are the alternatives?
Start using cloth handkerchiefs. They are more sustainable both in that they do not require the chopping of trees in order to produce, and also in that they do not end up in the landfill.
For organic cotton handkerchiefs, consider the company Hankettes in British Columbia.
Their Hankettes organic cotton handkerchiefs are available in a Set of 8 here for $22.99. This "refill pack" doesn't include a handy-dandy box that they pop out of, but it's equally effective for wiping your nose!
If you must use paper, here is a list of some companies producing paper tissues that do not contribute to the clear-cutting of ancient North American forests, according to Kleercut.
