The Impact of Traditional Toilet Paper
Common toilet paper from virgin pulp wipes out more than 27,000 trees per day, and that number is not going down. In fact, according to the World Wildlife Fund, the amount of wood harvested annually could triple by the year 2050.
Thereof, how many trees are cut every day for toilet paper?
27,000 trees
Considering this, is Canada’s boreal forest at risk? The boreal forest is under constant threat from industry. Perhaps the largest threat is industrial logging. Over the last 20 years, 25.4 million acres, an area the size of Kentucky, has been clearcut.
Simply so, what country has the most trees?
Russia
Where is the most deforestation in Canada?
The study reports for the first time that approximately 21,700 ha are deforested each year in the boreal forest of Ontario which is seven times greater than the reported rate of deforestation by forestry for all of Canada (average is approx. 2,800 ha/year).
Why we must protect Canada’s boreal forest?
Protecting the boreal is not only about saving trees and wildlife, says NRDC’s Jennifer Skene. It’s also about the people who’ve been living on the land for millennia and the urgent fight against climate change.
