The truth behind “regular” toilet paper
Most people don’t know this, but traditional toilet paper is one of the least sustainable household products in America. The average American uses nearly 141 rolls every year, and almost all of them come from freshly cut trees.
Not recycled pulp. Not sustainable forestry. Actual, living trees.
And here’s the part that doesn’t get talked about enough: Over 27,000 trees are cut down every single day just to keep up with toilet paper demand.
That’s forests disappearing—for something we use once and flush.
Why bamboo changes everything
Bamboo isn’t a tree — it’s a grass.
And it grows insanely fast.
-
Up to 3 feet per day
-
Regrows after harvesting
-
Requires no replanting
-
Needs less water
-
Produces 35% more oxygen than trees
This makes bamboo one of the most sustainable resources on the planet.
When you switch from traditional TP to 100% bamboo, your impact is immediate:
-
Fewer trees cut down
-
Lower carbon footprint
-
Cleaner air
-
A more renewable supply chain
You’re choosing something better for your home and for the planet.
Why Leafy chooses bamboo

The bottom line
Switching to bamboo toilet paper isn’t just a trend — it’s a practical, meaningful shift toward sustainability. And it starts with something simple, something daily, something everyone uses.
Your bathroom habits can literally help save forests. That’s power.
And that’s why we’re Leafy.
