Paper Towels And Its Effects On The World

Bounty Paper Towels, known as the “The quicker picker upper” started in 1957 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. They are known as the quicker picker upper because they are so absorbent because of the pattern they have and also because they are 2-ply which makes them thicker and more absorbent. At the time, other brands were promoting how strong they were and how soft they were but did not really ever say much about how absorbent they were. After research they discovered that really all customers cared about was how much they absorbed, so that is what they started promoting. In 1965, they came out with a two-ply paper towel that was thicker and softer than any other paper towel on the market at that time. Bounty Paper Towels are made

Paper towels are known for their absorbency. These towels are made of paper and are attended to be used once. Paper towels are used for cleaning and dry a variety of surfaces. During this lab, my group observed several brands of paper towels. Those brands included our school paper towels, Viva Vantage, Best Choice, and Bounty Basic. Our school paper towels were around 800 square feet long, had an average cost per roll of $5.25, and was single ply. This paper towel was brown in color, rough in texture, and dotted in pattern. Viva Vantage had 59 sheets per roll, had an average cost per roll of $2.09, and was single ply. The Viva Vantage was soft in texture, white in color, and had to apparent pattern. Best Choice had 111 sheets per roll, had

II. Listener Relevance- The world we live in is slowly being torn down by water pollution, air pollution, land pollution. Surprisingly, a very simple thing such as recycling helps reduce all of these.

Our world is wasting valuable resources left and right, as addressed in both essays “Waste Not, Want Not”” by Bill McKibbens, and “Forget Shorter Showers” by Derrick Jensen. In “Waste Not, Want Not”” Bill McKibbens focuses on the importance of preserving our recourses. He mentions how wasteful the human race is, and how un-necessary all of the things that cause waste really are. In “Forget Shorter Showers” Derrick Jensen leans more towards the idea that no matter what humans do, they are incapable of wining. Either they lose their opportunity for economical and intellectual growth, or they lose their precious recourses and clean world. Both writers realize that we are wasting recourses, and believe that change is necessary for advancement. While the writers may have similar views, they have different ideas on how to solve the issue, and use different methods of communicating their ideas.

The affect of environmental issues occur everyday and in particular deforestation is becoming a highly ranked subject. From animals to the human race, the alacrity of trees that are cut down affects every individual in a variety of ways. Not only do people need to help the planet but they need to help themselves and further generations to come, such as children and grandchildren because these natural resources that are being taken away from society are as well shaping the future. For comprehensible reasons, forests use to make up the world, until man made creatures started to destroy and destruct the most important supply to human kind which are trees. Trees are crucial to every living entity for the reason of providing oxygen to all.

Some additional steps used to increase absorbency are creping and embossing. Creping gives the towel extra flexibility and creates more openings for liquid to be absorbed and embossing

The Pittsburgh Steelers are arguably one of the greatest and most historic franchises in the National Football League. The past few seasons the Pittsburgh Steelers have had a winning record for the seasons and made it to the playoffs in the 2015 and 2016 seasons, with them losing to the very talented New England Patriots in the American Football Conference Championship game in 2016. With their winning seasons and the history of the team alone, I am sure that it is not difficult for the Pittsburgh Steelers to sell their tickets, even when some of the games will be played in rain, snow and 30-degree weather.

Another way to know if it is good, is to measure its capacity to absorb, it is clear that when you buy it, you will hardly be able to wet it to see how much it absorbs, however some bath towels bring in its label the density it possesses , The better it will be. But if you notice that your label can not see this data, do not worry, you can check the size of your fiber, if they are long, be sure that it is a good quality bath

How can anyone preserve the Earth? Many people inculcate others on the influences of cutting down trees or littering, but not many of them explicate how to stop the world from dying. Sure, not littering is advantageous, but it doesn't obligatorily plant a tree. With so much pollution, it seems virtually infeasible. But not for this woman. Wangari Maathai was the first woman in East Africa to earn a doctorate degree. With her organization, The Green Belt Movement, a myriad of trees were planted. This slideshow elaborates on Wangari Maathai's influence on people and the world.

The Lorax by Dr. Seuss depicts a world ravaged by deforestation and suffering from other environmental crises. In the town of Thneedville, an aspiring capitalist begins to sell his new product and as a result of booming business, the cornerstone of his business pays the price. The trees, the only natural resource used in production, are harvested to the point of extinction. The lack of trees leads to soil erosion, air pollution, and species extinction. While this is a children’s tale and Dr. Seuss’s illustration may be quite extreme, it is a reality for future generations of our planet. Human involvement in ecosystems by clearing land for urban development, logging, and agriculture have all exacerbated the rate of decline in the region’s natural systems. The deforestation of rainforests for the cultivation of palm oil is causing the possible extinction of orangutans and exacerbating air quality issues in Indonesia.

Sometimes we, as humans, don’t realize how much we use our resources. This project opened my eyes to how much we waste every day. The resources and how we use them on a day-to-day basis make up our carbon and water footprint. I used the two websites http://coolclimate.berkeley.edu/calculator and http://waterfootprint.org/en/resources to calculate my impact on the world. The results definitely made me think about how I use my resources.

As a 17-year old teenager going to high school, contrary to the environmental activist, David Suzuki’s, remarks about the ignorance of humans about nature, I receive much information about these kinds of problems at my school, from dedicated assemblies, eco fairs and special days that address our responsibility to deal with nature in a more responsible fashion. Yet, when the school day is over, all of the information seeps out of the roof of the school; plastic water bottles are still found in the corners of hallways and leftover Tim Hortons cups are still present in the desks of my former Business class. Even when I step inside the door of my house, the disconnection from nature is apparent. Most of my time at home is spent looking at a screen and doing homework and the only sign of nature would be the fly

Although Sappi produces paper, and deforestation is an ever increasing issue on our planet, Sappi have come up with solutions to be environmentally friendly, for example, their production of Triple Green Paper which incorporates 60% of the unused fibres in sugar cane extraction. This reduces the amount of trees that are cut down.

With many people today still enjoying paper books, they don’t realize the harm it causes the environment. When trees are cut down to make paper, oxygen can no longer be made. This can have huge effects on us and our world. One way to help reduce the number of trees being cut down is to recycle or purchase recycled books only. “A paper book takes up about 2/3 pounds of recycled paper and two gallons of water. The environment is taking up 7.5 kilograms of Co2 and using two-kilowatt hours of fossil fuels” (CustomMade).
