Protect the Planet 

         Did you know.....  

• American offices send 4 million tons of paper to the landfills every year.

   

• The average office worker uses about 10,000 sheets of paper every year.

• On average we each receive 40 pounds of junk mail every year....we forward nearly half of it to landfills unopened.  

• Every day in the United States approximately 690,000 tons of material are dumped in landfills and only a small fraction of that is legitimate waste.

• 75 to 90 percent of your waste can be recycled. 

• By recycling all of its paper, plastic, and corrugated waste generated in a year, an office building of 7,000 workers could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1,200 metric tons of carbon equivalent. This is equivalent to taking 900 cars off the road in one year.

• Americans throw away enough office and writing paper each year to build a wall twelve-feet high stretching from New York City to Los Angeles!

• Recycling one ton of paper saves an estimated 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 4000 kilowatts of energy, and 7000 gallons of water.
