The power of single handkerchief

Are you all aware of the power of a single handkerchief?

Greenhouse gas emission is the major cause of global warming
Carbon dioxide accounts for more than 70% of greenhouse gases.

Each paper towel we carelessly use in our daily lives emits about 10 g [0.35 oz] of carbon dioxide.
Assuming that one person uses eight paper towels a day, we can learn that one person emits about 30 kg [66.1 lb] of carbon dioxide per year!
This amount can be offset by planting 3.5 30-year-old pine trees per person per year.

But what if one uses a handkerchief instead of a paper towel? Each person can reduce about 30 kg [66.1 lb] of carbon dioxide per year.
