Our Forests On Wheels



If every household in the United States replaced just one box of virgin fiber facial tissues (175 sheets) with 100% recycled ones, we could save 163,000 trees.

If every household in the United States replaced just one roll of toilet paper (500 sheets) with 100% recycled ones, we could save 423,900 trees.

If every household in the United States replaced just one roll of paper towels (70 sheets) with 100% recycled ones, we could save 544,000 trees.

If every household in the United States replaced just one roll of napkins (250 count) with 100% recycled ones, we could save 1 million trees.

Americans discard 4 million tons of office paper each year, enough to build a 12-foot wall from Los Angeles to New York City.

If all of our newspapers were recycled, we could save about 250 million trees each year.  If every American recycled just one-tenth of their newspapers, we could save about 25 million trees each year.

Look for the white on black symbol.
