Since the beginning, trees have furnished us with two of life's essentials, food and oxygen. As we evolved, they provided additional necessities such as shelter, medicine, and tools. Today, their value continues to increase and more benefits of trees are being discovered as their role expands to satisfy the needs created by our modern lifestyles.

There is clearly an emergence of interest around measuring and disclosing water usage in the paper industry. Some mills will define water use as how much water enters the mill. Other mills will define use as the amount discharged from the water treatment facility. It is hard to get a straight forward answer to this question form most paper companies, but it is clear that papermaking involves vast quantities of water – millions of gallons per day. It is as integral to the process as fiber and energy.

Hip Hooray TerraSkin Eco Garlands made it all the way to Antarctica! Check out all of those penguins. We are thankful that Lynne and John shared this photo with everyone.
Hip Hooray garlands can be used in all kinds of weather. They can tolerate Antarctic (or Minnesota!) conditions with snow and wind. Tropical rain and humidity don’t phase them, either. And they look terrific in YOUR home!

1. If American households went online to view and pay their bills, it would save over 16 million trees. Find out what services and options are available to you.
2. Use public transportation whenever possible. Every year, public transportation reduces gasoline consumption by 1.4 billion gallons--- that's equal to 108 million full tanks of gas.
3. If just 10 percent of U.S. households attached shut off nozzles to their outdoor hoses, we'd save enough water to fill over 128,000 bathtubs - everyday.

Sustainable innovation can save our planet. Scientists around the globe agree that we all must do our share to take care of our planet. We should be making changes to our daily lives to reduce waste, global warming, and to reduce the use of toxic chemicals that can damage the ozone layer.
Our ability to adapt to a changing environment will propel us forward, and help create a greener planet. The best way to make a difference is to follow the three principles to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
