Recycling saves more than trees!
Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 mature trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 2 barrels of oil, and 4,100 killowatt-hours of electricity – enough energy to power the average American home for five months. (EPA 2008)The average American uses 18 cubic feet of wood and 729 pounds of paper – equal to a 100-foot tree with an 18-in truck – each year. (American Forest & Paper Assoc. 2004)
Americans discard 4 million tons of office paper every year – enough to build a 12-foot high wall of paper from New York to California. (American Forest & Paper Assoc. 2004)
About 40 million tons of paper that could be recycled is thrown away each year in the U.S. (What About Waste, Cornell Waste Management Institute 1990)
Recycling half the world’s paper would free 20 million acres of forestland. (The Recycler’s Handbook 1990)
