The Environmental Club presents the Eco Fact of the week for the week of December 2nd - To make just one ton of paper towels, 17 trees must be cut down and 20,000 gallons of water consumed. Multiply that by the 3,000 tons used every day, and you get roughly 51,000 trees and 60 million gallons of water—consumed every day, just for some paper towels! Help to preserve our resources and properly sort your trash!
