3523125018_ca5abc1ed1You are what you wipe. That's the message behind Greenpeace's iPhone app Tissue Guide, which launched Monday.

The app is a simple directory listing various brands of toilet paper, facial tissue, paper towel and napkins, rating each for its environmental friendliness. Based on those ratings, Tissue Guide breaks the brands into categories: products recommended, products that could do better and products that should be avoided.

Sounds pretty barebones, but it's certainly worth checking out just to get an idea of which brands are greener than others. Plus, it gives you more than just a price tag to help you make a decision. Tissue Guide is free through the App Store.
