926,000 LBS LESS PLASTIC
Thanks to our reusable eco dryer balls we avoided the use of 221 Million dryer sheets and 2.2 Million bottles of fabric softener. That equals 926,000 lbs of plastic and a pile of dryer sheets 70 miles high!
109 MILLION KILOWATTS saved
Thanks to shorter drying times, together we have saved enough energy to power 10,530 homes for a full month.
OVER 300,000 trees planted
We plant one tree towards permanent reforestation for every item sold. We've now reforested over 900 acres of land.

REDUCING PLASTIC
Our mission is to provide plastic-free alternatives to common household items. Thanks to our best selling Eco Dryer Balls, we have prevented the use of 221 million dryer sheets and 2.2 million bottles of plastic softener so far. That is over 926,000 lbs. of plastic waste that didn't end up in our landfills and oceans!
Saving energy
Each set of Eco Dryer Balls reduces drying time by 20% to 40%. All these savings build up, and over the last 5 years we estimate a total of over 109 Gigawatts were saved by those who made the switch to Friendsheep Eco Dryer Balls alone. That's enough energy to power 10,530 homes for a full month - or if you prefer to send Marty McFly back to the future 89 times - wow!
PLANT TREES. SAVE LIVES.
Healing our planet. We are partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects and have pledged to plant one tree towards permanent reforestation for every item we sell (yes, even the smallest pet toy counts!). Since starting the program we have planted over 300,000 trees - and provided 3,000 fair wage work days - in Madagascar, a nation with more than 200,000 unique species endangered by the unregulated deforestation of the last decades. That's 900 acres of land - over 665 football fields of forest!
