Environmental Impact of Toilet Paper

The amount of toilet paper used in North America is killing our forests at an unsustainable rate. After trees are cut down, the manufacturing process uses an enormous amount of water and energy in the production of toilet paper. The whitening, strengthening and softening of toilet paper requires chemicals that also leach into the environment.
