13 billion Every year, Americans use 13 billion pounds of paper towels. 45 pounds That’s over 45 pounds of paper towels per person, per year!

one less 571,230,000 pounds If everyone in America used one less paper towel every day, it would save 571,230,000 pounds of paper per year!

“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.” -Robert Swan
