Here are some sobering statistics about using paper:

• Global paper use has grown more than six-fold since 1950.
• One ton (200,000 sheets) of uncoated virgin (non-recycled) printing and office paper uses 24 trees. One tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or 8,333 sheets.
• One ton of paper uses 2 barrels of oil, 28,000 litres of water and 4,100kw hours of electricity. This is enough energy to power the average home for 5 months.
• Making paper uses more water per ton than any other product in the world.
• One ton of paper requires the use of 98 tons of various resources and produces 2,278 lb of solid waste.
• One fifth of all wood harvested in the world ends up in paper.
• Pulp and paper is the 5th largest industrial consumer of energy in the world, using as much power to produce a ton of product as the iron and steel industry.
• In most western countries, paper accounts for up to 40 percent of all municipal solid waste.
• In 2005, global production of paper and paperboard stood at 354,090,806 tons.
