Quick Facts about “These Come From Trees”

  • A typical fast food restaurant with two bathrooms can use up to 2000 pounds of paper towels a year
  • The average coffee shop uses 1000 pounds of paper towels a year
  • A single tree produces around 100 pounds of paper
  • A single “These Come From Trees” sticker can save around a tree’s worth of paper, every year
