Costco sells a billion rolls of toilet paper each year. It's the company's best-selling item. Stacked on top of each other, those rolls would soar to heights of 300 million feet -- the same as 240,000 Empire State Buildings.
But those rolls don't come from thin air. They're chopped from the boreal and flushed away to infinity.
It doesn't have to be this way. Other companies already use perfectly suitable alternatives, such as recycled paper, bamboo or even wheat straw.
