The Price of Production

Purchasing reusable and sustainable products can cut down on waste in your home, but also the waste created in the production process. For instance, did you know that 27,000 trees per day get flushed down the world's toilets? Turning hard wood into soft paper requires 37 gallons of water per roll and a gallon of toxic chemicals like bleach and formaldehyde. These chemicals poison our waterways and accumulate in our bodies. This results in an irreversible loss of animal habitat, destruction of the earth's most important carbon sinks, and soil erosion. Purchasing non-traditional toilet paper, or from companies like Who Gives a Crap which gives back to communities, makes your shopping choice better for you and our environment.
