It takes about
24 trees
to make one ton of office paper.
Up to
160,000
trees are cut down per day globally, and a significant portion of those are used to make paper.
Using one ton of recycled paper can save about
17 trees
from being cut down.
Approximately
27,000
trees are cut down for toilet paper every day.
America uses approximately
15 million trees
worth of toilet paper every year.
One tree can make about
100 pounds
of toilet paper.
Americans use
20%
of the world's toilet paper supply.
In America, only
