HELP STOP DEFORESTATION

Trees nourish all life on earth with the oxygen we breathe. Unfortunately, they are one of the world’s largest carbon sinkholes that trap greenhouse gases and convert them into oxygen. Deforestation in the Canadian forest and worldwide is removing precious resources from indigenous communities, crippling wildlife, and their habitats. Deforestation in Canada is occurring to make paper products, including toilet paper which accounts for 15% of world deforestation. We are cutting trees down to flush them down the toilet!

  • 1 tree = averages 810 Rolls of toilet paper. 

  • 1 person uses at least 57 sheets of toilet paper per day,

  • 27 rolls per year, adding up to 384 trees in a lifetime.

Waste Production

  • A study shows 270,000 Trees are flushed down toilets.

  • 10% of trees end up in landfills. 

  • It takes an average of 37 gallons of water to make one roll of toilet water.

  • It takes an average of 1/8 of a gallon of water for bidet use.

Toilet paper is produced from the virgin pulp of trees. The process itself requires heavy water waste and energy power. In addition, the paper goes through a bleaching process that releases chemicals into the environment. The chemicals released bioaccumulate in the food chain pose a risk to animals and humans.
