"To support the amount of toilet paper Americans use, we'd need to cut down around 15 million trees a year to cover our butts with 36.5 billion rolls of toilet paper. It takes 473,587,500,000 gallons of water, 253,000 tons of chlorine, and 17.3 terawatts of electricity every year to create the 36.5 million rolls of toilet paper needed by Americans, according to MetaEfficient editor Justin Thomas in an interview with Scientific American.
