Hi all, if you’re looking for another way to help stop deforestation, look at the toilet paper that your family uses. A lot of common brands such as Charmin, Ultra Soft, and Cottonelle cut down a lot of trees and use no recycling to make a lot of their toilet paper.

Today is the day of the Animal Shelter project! If you’d like to learn quick and simple ways to create enrichment items for shelters near you, check out our Projects page!
