270,000 Trees per Day for Toilet

January 8th, 2011

recycled tissue,paper towel from fiberDo you realize that from the toilet, much environmental damage occurred. This is not from human’s waste, but rather from cleaning tools namely tissue. Environmental organization World Wildlife Fund (WWF), from the site, estimating the use of paper towels every day around the world spends 270,000 trees. The amount is mainly for toilet paper products. The use of trees for tissue products is increasingly futile because of the waste tissue cannot or is no longer possible recycled.

WWF says to make tissue, much of the forest cleared for planting eucalyptus trees which is the raw material product. In the future, this logging will threaten forest biodiversity and the life of fauna. We can minimize the effects for environment by choosing recycled paper towels. Unfortunately, tissue paper which is made from fibers of other products is still rare. So the best way for us is to save the use of tissue whenever possible.

“Plants clean the air in a greater degree than we expected,” said Thomas Karl of NCAR, Thursday (21/10), in Washington. VOCs are chemicals as oxygen volatile organic compounds. These compounds are formed in the atmosphere, derived from hydrocarbons and other chemicals from natural and human activities. These compounds contribute to pneumonia to asthma. Read more…
