“In every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions
on the next seven generations”
From the Great Law of the Iroquois Confederacy
Seventh Generation paper products are made
from 100% recycled paper and whitened with an environmentally safe
process-never with chorine bleach. By choosing these products you
make a difference today and for the next seven generations.
If every household in the U.S. replaced just one of
the following products of virgin fiber with recycled products the
savings are staggering.
85 sheet facial tissues,
would save
*87,000 trees
*226,500 cubic feet of landfill space, equal to 330 full
garbage trucks
*31 million gallons of water, a year’s supply
for 240 families of four
*And avoid 5,300 pounds of pollution
One roll of 500 sheet bathroom
tissue, would save
*423,900 trees
*1.0 million cubic feet of landfill space, equal to 1600 full
garbage trucks
*153 million gallons of water, a year’s supply
for 1200 families of four
One triple pack of 70 sheet
paper towels, would save:
*1,660,000 trees
*4.2 million cubic feet of landfill space, equal to 6600 full
garbage trucks
590 million gallons of water, a year’s supply
for 4,700 families of four
*And avoid 101,000 pounds of pollution |
