Are You an Everyday Superhero?

When it comes to the environment, it doesn’t always take big, bold action. Sometimes, the small things count the most!

Content provided by Georgia-Pacific

When you were a child, did you dream of growing up to be a superhero? Did you fantasize about saving the world?

 

Now’s your chance! No, we’re not talking about putting on a cape and flying around in the sky. We’re not even talking big, bold, lifesaving action. We’re talking about things that anyone can do. Because small changes can have a big impact.

 

Things like the enMotion touchless paper towel dispenser from Georgia-Pacific, which reduces waste by up to 30 percent. Dispensing one-at-a-time towels with preset sheet length, this simple change can have a dramatic environmental impact.

 

And why stop there? When it comes to bathroom tissue, why not say goodbye to those wasteful cardboard rolls? Georgia-Pacific Coreless Compact tissue reduces packaging by up to 95 percent compared to standard bath tissues, and is responsible for eliminating about 119 tons of waste each year.

 

Our enMotion paper towels and Compact Coreless tissue also meet the EPA guidelines for recycled fiber content.

 

These seemingly small things add up and, before you know it, you’ve made big change happen! We all can be everyday superheroes. When it comes to “saving the world,” sometimes, it’s the small things that count the most.

 

Georgia-Pacific is committed to helping individuals and companies become environmental heroes. We work to: create products that help improve people’s lives; use resources wisely; actively engage in our communities; and contribute to society by being a prosperous business. We call it being sustainable.

Learn more about our sustainability practices, and how we’re striving to help everyone become an everyday superhero >
