We have partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects and are committed to planting one tree for every four rolls of toilet paper sold into the marketplace. Eden Reforestation Projects contributes to combatting deforestation in third world communities by involving locals to plant trees in conservation areas. As a result, by contributing to our brand you are helping to combat poverty & deforestation in areas that need the most help. To date, Eden Projects have planted 700,000,000 trees around parts of the world that are suffering from significant deforestation.
