Need more reasons to reserve your shopping time at Fall Whale Sale? Here are some GOOD ones (for you AND the planet)!
Did you know that:
- World consumption of paper has grown 400 percent in the last 40 years.
- Paper and paper products account for 25% of all landfill waste in the US and more than a third of all Canada’s waste.
- Paper manufacturing is the third largest user of fossil fuels worldwide.
- Every year in the US, more than 2 billion books are published.
- About 40 million tons of paper that could be recycled is thrown away each year in the US.
So not only do you get some great books, CDs, DVDs, and LPs at great prices, you’re also helping the planet!
