Whya re you promoting tree cutting?

  • Posted by: vworld

paper Towels are so common that almost 90% of US households take advantage of the convenience of paper towels resulting in the production of over 3,000 tons of waste each day. Well, does this mean you are promoting cutting of trees? Yes you are – if each home simply replaced one roll of their traditional paper towels from their paper towel dispensers with paper towels made from recycled paper, we could avoid wasting 3.4 million cubic feet of landfill space and prevent 864,000 trees from being cut down.
