ok folks - our first bulk order of paper products just arrived and it really has me fired up! did you know that if every household in the U.S. replaced just one box of virgin fiber facial tissues with 100% recycled ones, we could save:
- 163,000 trees
- 422,100 cubic feet of landfill space, equal to 620 full garbage trucks
- 59 million gallons of water, a year's supply for 460 families of four
- and avoid 10,000 pounds of pollution
check out their website for money saving coupons that can be used in the store or online!
kate did make the comment that our new tissues were a bit scratchy but when i explained to her why mommy and daddy made the decision to use the recycled ones she happily complied. as for trey - he'll probably only ever experience the super softness of puffs when visiting his mika.
