A great alternative to Quilted Northern Bath Tissue!

(edited the title to make it more relevent)

As a longtime fan of Northern Bath Tissue, and wanting to avoid giving any more wealth to the Kochs, I've been looking for a replacement.

Well I've finally found one!

Nature's Choice Premium Bath Tissue

Found it at COSTCO! It easily rivals Northern, and as long as I don't find out that the Kochs really own this company somehow, I've found my new TP.

edit to add this fantastic resource, that ranks the various paper products by how environmentally friendly they are:

1. New TP is good for the soul. Congrats!

2. Unless you find it is made by Georgia Pacific...

which does make a lot of the "no-name" paper products nationwide, you are probably good.

3. Taking a look around their website, I'd say it's a safe bet that Cascades is Koch-free

A little about their current organization:

In 2011, Cascades named Mario Plourde Chief Operating Officer, thus enabling Alain Lemaire, President and Chief Executive Officer, to devote more time to the strategic vision of the company. Also in 2011, Cascades sold Dopaco Inc., its paper cup and carton converting business for the quick-service restaurant and foodservice industries, to Reynolds Group Holdings Limited. Net proceeds from the transaction will mainly be used to pay down Cascades' debt.

In keeping with its origins but definitely being forward-looking, Cascades is banking on its products that contain a high percentage of recycled fibres to distinguish itself from the competition, while remaining committed to the principles of sustainable development that is so dear to its corporate philosophy. Cascades also demonstrates that it understands that only innovation and the marketing of environmentally sound products will guarantee its future success.

12. I did a 2-week IT project on-site at their HQ in rural Quebec

Kingsey Falls to be precise. Wonderful town, wonderful people!
It was on this project that I learned, however, there is no guarantee that any given citizen of this region will speak a single word of English. :blush:
