Save the Trees--Cut Down on Paper

Are you a paper pusher?

The typical workplace is hooked on the stuff, with some shocking statistics.



The average office worker uses 10,000 sheets of copy paper each year.

The United States alone, which has less than 5% of the world's population, consumes 30% of the world's paper.

Over 40% of wood pulp goes toward the production of paper.

Printing and writing paper equals about one-half of U.S. paper production.

The costs of using paper in the office can run 13 to 31 times the cost of purchasing the paper in the first place!
