The Lorax speaks for the trees and Seventh Generation acts for them and wants to empower others to do the same. If every household in the U.S. replaced just one 12-pack of 300-sheet virgin fiber bathroom tissue with Seventh Generation–s 100% recycled bathroom tissue, we could save 1,900,000 trees.
“The Lorax was created to inspire and at Seventh Generation, we–re here to help turn that inspiration into reality,” says Chris Miller, director of Corporate Consciousness at Seventh Generation. “Not everyone has the resources to take on a major green initiative within their community, so it is our hope that this promotion is a start in providing individuals with the inspiration and tools they need to do so — we hope it will help people understand that one small change done by many can make a big difference.”
The Green Your Town Sweepstakes runs through on July 31, 2012.
