    Joseph Gayetty invented toilet paper in 1857, but it did not become widely available until the late 1920s. On average, each American uses about 50 pounds of toilet paper annually, which is equivalent to 49 rolls or 49,000 sheets at a cost of around $52.43. Recycling just one ton of toilet paper saves resources like 17 trees, 6953 gallons of water, and 463 gallons of oil. The Pentagon uses an average of 666 rolls of toilet paper per day.
