🟢 Sustainability At Home 🟢

We'll get straight to the point. What are you wiping with?! If you're using traditional toilet paper, you might cringe a bit at the thought of how many 🌳 and 💧 it takes to keep up with demand. Common toilet paper from virgin pulp wipes out more than 27,000 trees per day.* Additionally, each ROLL takes about 37 gallons of water to make (along with a gallon of chemicals you probably don't want touching your skin).**

Over the course of your lifetime, you'll flush the equivalent of 384 🌳 (and that's just for toilet paper!).

Help conserve water and trees. Consider an option to help:

1️⃣ Americans use more toilet paper than any other country! If you keep using your existing brand, consider using less than the 3 rolls per week average.

OR

2️⃣ Guide your next toilet paper purchase to a sustainable one. If you're in need of a few recommendations, check them out below.
