SAVE PAPER : SAVE TREES : SOME AMAZING FACTS:

SEE,  HOW WE CAN SAVE 840000 TREES DAILY BY SAVING ONLY ONE A4 SIZE PAPER!!!

MATERIAL NEEDED FOR PREPARING ONE TON OF PAPER:

• ·         128 cubic ft wood
• ·         55000 gallon (208200 liter) water
• ·         46 kg sulphur
• ·         159 kg lime
• ·         1.2 ton coal
• ·         9 kg dye and pigment
• ·         49 kg starch and others.

SOME FACTS ABOUT PAPER:

• ·         1 ton of uncoated virgin (non-recycled) printing and office paper uses 24 trees
• ·         1 ton of 100% virgin (non-recycled) newsprint uses 12 trees
• ·         A "pallet" of copier paper (20-lb. sheet weight, or 20#) contains 40 cartons and weighs 1 ton. 

Therefore,

• ·         1 carton (10 reams) of 100% virgin copier paper uses .6 trees
• ·         1 tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or 8,333.3 sheets
• ·         1 ream (500 sheets) uses 6% of a tree (and those add up quickly!)
• ·         1 ton of coated, higher-end virgin magazine paper (used for magazines like National Geographic and many others) uses a little more than 15 trees (15.36)
• ·         1 ton of coated, lower-end virgin magazine paper (used for newsmagazines and most catalogs) uses nearly 8 trees (7.68) 

         Population of the world is nearly 7 Billion.
 

·         IF EVERYONE OF US SAVES ONE A4 SIZE PAPER (WEIGHT- 5 g.) IT IS WORTH SAVING-

7 BILLION A4 SIZE PAPERS   = 7,000,000,000 x 5g

                                                      = 35000 Tonnes of paper

                                                      = Saving => 840,000 Trees 
                                                                         
                                                                       + 7,287,000,000 liter water 
                                               
                                                                       + 42,000 tonnes Coal 


                                                                       + a large amount of sulphur and other elements which 
                                                                          are harmful to our environment.
