  • Summary

  • We Use Too Much Toilet Paper: A Lesson in Resource StewardshipAs a business analyst and leader, I spend my days dissecting processes, identifying inefficiencies, and optimizing systems. Lately, however, my analytical lens has landed on something rather unexpected: toilet paper. Now, hear me out. It might seem like a mundane topic, but the sheer volume of toilet paper we consume serves as a powerful metaphor for a much larger societal issue – our insatiable appetite for "more."Let's delve deeper. According to Earth911, the average American consumes a whopping 141 rolls of toilet paper per year. Imagine the environmental footprint of that statistic. Millions of trees are pulped, billions of gallons of water utilized, and a significant amount of energy expended – all to produce a product that's used and discarded in mere seconds.
