It's hard to believe they're even allowed to make paper towels from virgin wood but some companies do. Seventh Generation's unbleached hypo-allergenic towels are free of dyes, inks and fragrances but best of all they're 100% recycled. Better yet, they've made from 90% post-consumer fiber. Sure they're brown, but who really cares when their entire life cycle consists of going from the roll to some spaghetti sauce to the garbage.

We've done without paper towels for years in our household and these sponges we reviewed last week could help you go paper-free in the kitchen too. If you've just gotta have your paper towels though (like if you have kids for example) these are an excellent green option. Here's how I rated them:

• Green: 2.5/4
• Value: 2/3
• Quality: 3/3
• Final GreenDeals score: 7.5/10
