Concert Venue Goes Green: AFAS Live Opts for Bamboo Toilet Paper
Hey music fans and eco-warriors, have you heard the news? AFAS Live, the go-to spot for live entertainment in the Netherlands, is making a fantastic sustainable move! Yes, you heard it right - this concert venue is switching over to 100% bamboo toilet paper from none other than... US!! The Good Roll. Who would have thought that your bathroom habits could make such a big difference? But hey, at AFAS Live, it's not just the music that steals the show, but also our cool rolls that allow every visitor to contribute to a greener world!
Bamboo for the Beat
Imagine this: you're at your favorite concert, you've just seen your favorite artist perform and you desperately need to use the loo, so you head over to the restroom. But what if I told you that every time you take a break, you're actually making a difference? Thanks to AFAS Live's decision to use bamboo toilet paper from The Good Roll, every trip to the toilet becomes a small act of eco-heroism. Who said music and sustainability couldn't go hand in hand?
Why this change? AFAS Live is committed to being climate neutral and operating circularly by 2030. With over 700,000 visitors per year, they have the power to make a difference. It's no wonder they've been proudly holding their gold Green Key certification since 2012. Quite impressive if you ask us!
From Music to Environmental Awareness
But let's talk about why bamboo toilet paper has so many benefits for us and the world. Firstly, did you know that 27,000 trees are cut down every day for toilet paper production? That's a lot of trees! But bamboo grows like wildfire, 30 times faster than trees to be precise. It also absorbs 35% more CO2 and emits 35% more oxygen than our trusty woody friends. And the best part? Bamboo doesn't require pesticides or fertilizers, making it a green dream for our planet.
We're doing our part to help local farmers while giving all that bamboo a useful purpose. We buy the bamboo from them at a fair price and turn it into pulp in our new factory. This way, we not only provide sustainable toilet paper but also build a fair relationship with farmers in Ghana.
That pulp we make is then shipped to Europe, where it's transformed into toilet paper. What's cool is that one container can hold three times more pulp than the toilet paper rolls made from it. That saves a lot on transportation hassle and is therefore much better for the environment.
Besides the environment, we also have other important purposes. With half of our net profit, we build toilets in Africa. It's amazing to see how a small everyday item like toilet paper can have such a big impact on the daily lives of our fellow humans. And a big shout out to AFAS Live for this immense support!
From Moshpit to Toilet Pit
So, next time you attend a concert at AFAS Live, know that every visit to the toilet makes a small difference. And who knows, maybe AFAS Live inspires you and many others to follow suit. At AFAS Live, we don't just make the music rock, but also the toilet bowls! It just goes to show that even during a concert, you can be an eco-warrior.
