According to a study done by Last Object, approximately 27,000 trees are cut down every day just to make TP. Additionally, 7 billion rolls of toilet paper are sold in America each year – that’s an insane number of trees we’re cutting down just to source TP! I also found out that unlike trees which take about 20 years to grow back after being cut down, bamboo takes only 3 months to grow back after harvesting. A way more sustainable option. 

So, I went ahead and ordered Grove’s bamboo TP. As soon as it arrived in the mail I was impressed. The packaging was not only super cute but plastic-free and eco-friendly. And after using the bamboo TP for a week, I was converted. Contrary to belief, it was super soft on my skin. I also noticed that it lasted longer than the tree-made TP I was using before. It took me a week or two to go through an entire roll, which was unusual for me. Come to find out, Grove’s toilet paper has 20% more paper than other bamboo toilet papers. Plus, you don’t need to worry about flushing it down the toilet; it’s septic tank and sewer friendly! 

Personally, I won’t be going back to tree-made toilet paper for several reasons, but mainly because Grove’s bamboo TP gets the job done and is eco-friendly. I feel at peace knowing I’ve found a company I can finally support and get behind! Here were my favorite benefits after using the product: 

• Extremely soft & durable
• Eco-friendly
• Came in plastic-free packaging
• Bamboo used is panda-friendly (not a source of food for panda bears)
• Grove plants one tree for every 100 rolls sold

For instance, did you know that 76 million pounds of plastic packaging are created by U.S. companies every day? Additionally, 24 billion pounds of plastic enter the ocean every year, killing over 1 million marine animals. These numbers are exponential and so damaging to our ecosystems. So, I decided to do my research and find an eco-friendly brand that I could support. 

I stumbled upon Grove, a company determined to move beyond plastic and better our Earth. They are the first plastic neutral retailer, having removed over 7 million pounds of plastic from nature. That’s insane! They’re completely changing the game by finding a way to replace plastic in virtually every household item around – soap dispensers, kitchen sponges, shampoo bottles, and more. 

For instance, take their multi-purpose cleaner concentrate. Not only is it plastic-free, it features 100% natural fragrance and no harsh chemicals. At first, I was worried that their products wouldn’t get the job done because I thought they weren’t as concentrated or “harsh”. Well, I was wrong. Not only does this product keep my counters clean, it also smells natural and non-chemically. 

After I realized how amazing and sustainable their products were, I decided to go all out. From plastic-free pet stain and odor remover to plastic-free razors, Grove truly has it all. My laundry room is no longer stacked full of harsh, damaging products; I now have an endless supply of Grove plastic-free products that I love. 

Oh wait, did I mention the best part? If you spend $20 or more, you can choose a free offer to add to your order and let me tell you, these packages do not disappoint!
