ECO-Tip: Its Good to be Old News

If US citizens recycled just 10% of old newspapers,

approximately 25 million trees would be saved

annually. About 75% of what we throw out could berecycled into tomorrows news, books and household

paper products. ECO-tip: Once youre done reading a

book, donate it or sell it to a secondhand shop or usedbookstore. It takes 28% less energy to recycle than to

produce paper from scratch. Paper accounts for 40% of

solid waste in the United States, which is about 72million tons annually. (Now, that's a lot of old news!)
