The Impact of Paper Production in Our
Environment
10,000 trees are cut down annually in China to make holiday
cards
It takes 75,000 trees to print a Sunday Edition of the New York
Times.
Every tree provides oxygen enough for3 people to breathe. Recycling one ton of paper saves 682.5 gallons of oil, 7,000
gallons of water, 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space.
Today, 90% of paper pulp is made of wood.
Paper manufacture is estimated to account for nearly 13%of
total wood use, and represents one per cent of the world's totaleconomic output

Printing Improvements
Set computer defaults to print double-sided
Preview documents before printing
Select and print only the pages you need
Adopt a "double-sided" policy
Practice "Think Before You Copy" Attitude
Minor hand written corrections are ok
Print only the amount you need. Limit the distribution of
correspondence and reports to those who really need "hard
copies." Provide one copy for several readers rather than
providing multiple copies
Use your word processor's Spell Check and Print Preview
functions to check spelling, layout, and page breaks before
printing a job
