The Hidden Environmental Cost of Toilet Paper
Most people in the States burn through 141 toilet paper rolls every single year. To meet this demand, thousands of acres of forests are clear-cut annually. Think beyond the fallen timber. Making paper sucks up tons of fresh water and dumps harsh chemicals like bleach or formaldehyde into the environment.
The "Water Paradox"
Everyone wants to know one thing. But won't a bidet waste a lot of water? Everything points to a yes. no.
- Building products versus outsourcing tasks. How to use: Making a single cup of coffee actually gulps down 37 gallons of water. A lone paper bundle. of toilet paper.
- How Bidets Save Time. A BidetMate uses about 1/8th of a gallon of water per wash.By using a bidet, you are actually saving thousands of gallons of water that would have been used in the industrial production of the paper you are no longer buying.
Lifetime Impact: By the Numbers
If you install one BidetMate today and use it for the next 10 years:
- We kept these standing: Approximately 384 trees.
- Total H2O Conservation: Over 50,000 gallons (by reducing paper production needs).
- Cutting back trash. You prevent thousands of pounds of paper from entering the sewage system, which reduces the energy needed at municipal water treatment plants.
