The United States wastes nearly 90% of the newspapers on sunday.This wastes about 500,000 trees!

American's throw away enough office paper annually to build a wall 12 feet high stretching from Los Angeles to New York City.

It takes 75,000 trees to print a Sunday Edition of the New York Times

One ton of recycled paper uses: 64% less energy, 50% less water, 74% less air pollution, saves 17 trees and creates 5 times more jobs than one ton of paper products from virgin wood pulp.

One tree can filter up to 60 pounds of pollutants from the air each year.

One ton of recycled paper saves 3,700 pounds of lumber and 24,000 gallons of water

Americans buy 62 million newspapers and throw out 44 million. That's the same as dumping 500,000 trees into a landfill every week.
