Your Paper Towel is Poisoning
Our Environment…
The paper towels that are sitting on the kitchen
counter, in your washroom cabinet or even at your
workplace may seem to be a normal necessity in your
everyday life. But do you know that those very same
paper towels you’re using regularly do a massive
damage to you and to our environment?
To make one ton of paper towels...
17 trees have to be destroyed
20,000 gallons of water are polluted
Which is enough water to feed a
community of 40,000 people!
To Make Matter Worse,
Decomposing of Paper Towels
Produce Methane Gas, A Leading
Cause Of Global Warming!
According to the Stanford Magazine, an online publication
released by the University of Stanford, paper towels
contribute to methane emissions in two main ways.
First, when paper towels are disposed of in land lls, they
can break down and produce methane, a potent
greenhouse gas that is more harmful to the environment
than carbon dioxide.
