What kind of toilet paper is in your bathroom right now?

Answer:

A. I like the ultra plushy kind. It’s so soft!

B. I don’t know. I just buy whatever’s on sale.

C. I try to pick up recycled toilet paper when I can.

b. You might want to put a little more thought into your TP purchases. Canadians use 3.4 billion rolls of toilet paper every year. If we all switched out just one roll of virgin bleached toilet paper for the recycled variety, we’d be able to save 48,000 trees and nix 4,500 kilograms of air and water pollution that its manufacturing produces.

c. You might not think choosing recycled TP at the store is making much of a difference, but trust me – you’re saving trees every time you powder your nose! The average person uses 100 rolls of toilet paper annually. If all Canadians took your example and switched out just one roll of virgin bleached toilet paper for the recycled variety, we’d be able to save 48,000 trees and nix 4,500 kilograms of air and water pollution that its manufacturing produces.
