While I have written many stories on this issue, it is still surprising. Because
people are must know how much paper we use every day. People are then not aware 
of the facts surrounding paper from [trees](https://greenlivingguy.com/2012/01/a-paper-company-that-has-planted-over-800-million-trees/).

It really is astounding how much paper Americans use on daily basis and some shocking
statistics about the environmental costs of that paper. Can we say over 65 Billion
sheets of paper (YES WITH A B!)

However, then Scotties Facial Tissue goes with a 3-to-1 Tree Planting Promise. Since
2009, Scotties [plants 3 trees for everyone](https://greenlivingguy.com/2012/01/scotties-grand-canyon-family-field-trip-winner/)
it uses to make its Softest Ever Facial Tissue. The parent company of Scotties facial
tissues, J.D. Irving Limited is committed to environmentally responsible business
practices. That’s for like over 55 years. This is just one reason why Scotties is
LIKE NO OTHER facial tissue brand.

## WHAT MAKES SCOTTIES LIKE NO OTHER?

 1. Scotties combines a unique brand promise to plant 3 trees for every 1 used with
    the long-standing history of its parent company, J.D. Irving, Limited.
 2. Scotties communicates on every box its commitment to plant 3 trees for every 1 
    used in making its softest ever tissues. It also uses 3rd party auditing to ensure
    compliance.
 3. Scotties Softest Ever tissues are chain of custody certified through the Sustainable
    Forestry Initiative ([SFI](https://greenlivingguy.com/2022/04/is-sfi-effective-or-just-another-greenwashing-entity/)).
