Use recycled facial tissue (Change 138)
The idea of hankies went by the wayside a long time ago. I caught a really bad cold a few months ago, and ended up using copious amounts of Kleenex. I never got back in the habit of using hankies. So you can imagine my delight when I discovered that Scotties is now producing a 100% recycled fibre facial tissue. It is EcoLogo certified (http://www.ecologo.org/en/), and actually manufactured in Canada. Like most things environmentally-friendly, it is a higher cost that the regular brands. But is makes me feel good, and makes my nose feel good too.

I try to use recycled-content tissues too, but only for really bad colds and allergies. I quite like using hankies for every other day, it's just a question of getting used to it I guess.

Dahlia - old habits die hard, and this one seems to be hard for me. I'll keep trying though!
