Nice job, very creative idea.
Unbelievably most of that paper came from trees. People keep saying how they want to save the world by saving trees, how about we stop cutting them down first!
There are so many annually renewable sources for paper that we know about and yet we continue to clear cut for printing paper and our TP.
Did you know that one acre of kenaf produces up to 11 tons of usable fiber per year, while an acre of forest requires 20-30 years to produce only 4 or 5 tons of usable fiber. Kenaf fiber also has better strength and performance characteristics than wood fiber. It has a lower lignin content, so kenaf is whiter than wood and requires fewer chemicals and less energy to process.
Hemp also has less lignin than wood chips and, well it grows like a weed.
Textiles is another big issue that is related. Anyway, before I go off too much, let me just say again, good job.
I think this idea could be expanded upon very well. Have her speed dating different wasteful appliances, until she meets.... I don't know, how about a solar oven? LOL
