*An area of forest equal to 20 football fields is lost every minute.
*2.5 billion acres of forest and woodland have been lost since agriculture began about 10,000 years ago.
*By saving 1 ton of toilet paper, you also save:
- 17 trees
- 6,953 gallons of water
- 463 gallons of oil
- 587 pounds of air pollution
- 3.06 cubic yards of landfill space
- 4,077 kilowatt hours of energy
As you can see, deforestation for commercial usage is a huge concern and tree conservation is an important tool in the effort to keep our planet fresh and vibrant. By using a Bwand to clean yourself in the bathroom, you will not only be getting cleaner than if you used toilet paper, but you'll be saving quite a bit of money ($400 a year for an average family) and you'll also be helping the environment, saving water, and reducing our reliance on foreign oil. It's a win-win situation! A Bwand is only common sense, so make sure you get one now.
