12. Ikea has a reasonable sub for VF napkins.

If not Ikea, I'm sure there's plenty of alts on the web.
Not that it will matter to these pigs anyway.

I want to make sure I do not give these guys any money but I dont want to accidentally target people who dont deserve it.

And I will publicize this eventually (soon).

Thanks again

I need to make sure that absolutely zero of my money goes to these jerks.

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Don't forget to avoid anything made by Georgia-Pacific which they own.

[myrna minx]

14. It looks like I'm going to be making changes in my purchasing.

Thanks for posting.

[niyad]

15. thank you for the list

[LynneSin]

16. You know what Quilted Toiletpaper does - it clogs up the plumbing

I won't use that extra soft or quilted stuff.

[blondeatlast]

18. Anyone know if they make store brands? So far I don't purchase

anything listed but I do tend to purchase store brands.

[sufrommich]

19. I started using Brawny because someone here on DU

said they were union made.It was in an OP asking for names of union products a long time ago. If feel bad now ,jeez I went out of my way to buy that brand.

I am going to put this list on my facebook page and hope others start doing the same. Hit them where it hurts.

[quiller4]

23. Brawny is union made but it is also owned by Georgia Pacific

[roody]

20. It's a good time to switch to reusables, tp excluded.

Use cloth napkins and towels. There are various brands of tp made from almost all recycled paper.

[nashville_brook]

28. i started using cloth napkins and "flour sack" dish towels years ago...and,

i have to say, i feel like it was a big "lifestyle improvement." it's just nice to have cloth napkins...and those old-fashioned flour sack towels are great to have in the kitchen.

I probably spend $10 a year on refreshing the towels. they come in packs of 6 for around $5 at Target, and 12 towels will get dingy and go into the "heavy use" pile (car wash, floors, yucky surfaces, paint). when i was buying paper towels i probably bought one roll every other week. at about $2 a roll that's around $50 a year. so, it's more economical too.

[Raine]

21. THANKS! Luckily I don't use any of that stuff

and I'll make sure I don't start.

[Cognitive_Resonance]

22. K&R nt

[barbiegeek]

24. Shoot- No northern or Angel soft. Oh Well-I'll find a new brand

[shanti]

25. lycra?

oh noes!!!!!!!!!

[HuckleB]

26. That's going to be hard on outdoor enthusiasts.

Thanks for the list. It will make buying new gear quite easy. My choices just went down to practically none.

[nashville_brook]

27. is there anyway to find out if they "private label" any products?

in other words, do they provide products to, say Publix, to sell under the Publix labeling?

the only paper product we use is recycled TP under the Publix private label.

[lonestarnot]

29. I intend to bitch at Costco for stocking dixie when I get cat food!

[Imagevision]

31. This is good, it's a start, how can we get more intense?

[Enthusiast]

32. K&R Will do.....nt

[GTurck]

33. Damn hard...

to avoid Dacron and Lycra since they are woven into so many undergarments. We also need a list of some of the products made by the Invista division.
