I was asked to do a post on Toilet Paper- and wow- I will never buy any other paper products unless they use recycled paper again!
Read the following from National Resource Defense Council
I Just Gotta Tell Ya
- The pulp from one eucalytputs tree, produces as many as 1,000 rolls of toilet tissue.
- Americans use an average of 23.6 rolls of Toilet Paper per year per person
How To Save More Trees:
1.) Eliminate Paper Towels completely- I haven’t used paper towels in over 10 years and don’t miss them a bit.
2.) Stop using paper napkins and if you do- buy recycled paper napkins.
3.) Use less Toilet paper- you don’t need a full roll to wipe oneself.
4.) Stop using Kleenex- You don’t need it- unless you have a really bad cold. Use Handkerchiefs instead .
5.) If you Have to use any of the above products- buy recycled and support companies that support the environment.
