With Earth Hour coming, Saturday March 28th at 8:30, I want you to think about it more than "how is 1 hour in MY house going to change anything?"

Here are some very simple ways you can change just one thing in your house ONLY ONCE and make a difference:

Facial Tissue
If every household in the United States replaced just one box of virgin fiber facial tissues (175 sheets) with 100% recycled ones, we could save 163,000 trees.

Toilet Paper
If every household in the United States replaced just one roll of virgin fiber toilet paper (500 sheets) with 100% recycled ones, we could save 423,900 trees.

Paper Towels
If every household in the United States replaced just one roll of virgin fiber paper towels (70 sheets) with 100% recycled ones, we could save 544,000 trees.
(Seriously, they are not touching a delicate body part!)

Napkins
If every household in the United States replaced just one package of virgin fiber napkins (250 count) with 100% recycled ones, we could save 1 million trees.
(Seriously, they are not touching a delicate body part either!)

(If you want the full report please go to: NRDC)

If every house changed one roll, imagine if you turned off the electricity in every room of your house/ apartment for 1 hour.

Big stuff. And hey, it is kind of fun to hangout in the dark.

Go play some flashlight tag!
