4. What are some concrete actions that you can do based on these facts: For every ton of tissue paper made with recycled paper we save: 20 trees 7,000 gallons of water 463 gallons of oil 587 Ibs of air pollution 3.08 cubic yards of landfill space 4100 kilowatt hours Filipinos consume 3000 metric tons of tissue paper or 41,000,000 rolls/month To make tissue out of virgin pulp, 27,000 trees are cut down every day. So, choose tissue made from 100%-recycled papers.
