Every day roughly 1.9 million trees enough to cover about 45 Sydney Opera Houses are cut down to make traditional toilet paper out of virgin wood pulp, according to a new report which looked into how consumer choices can impact the environment. More than 60 per cent of people recently surveyed across Australia, the United Kingdom and United States were unaware of how their choice in toilet paper contributes to global deforestation, the Toilet Paper Environmental Sustainability Report found. It's estimated a person goes through 127 rolls a year, adding up to 42 million tonnes worldwide. And that's leading to the loss of 700 million trees annually, the data found. <https://www.9news.com.au/world/earth-day-2022-toilet-paper-found-to- contribute-to-mass-deforestation-data-reveals/a6b0763b-54a6-4f66-8a21- 8b3fbad064b2>
