Green Statistics

> For every 2000 sq-ft home constructed, it takes 1 acre of clear cut forest to produce the necessary lumber for that 1 home.

> It takes 30 YEARS to re-generate that 1 acre!

> 83% of the world's land surface is under human influence, leaving only 17% natural environment.

> In the United States, we discard enough paper each year to building a wall 48 feet high around the entire perimeter of the country.

> Even though about 45% of discarded paper in recycled annually, 55% or 48 million tons of paper is thrown away or goes into the landfills. Figuring conservatively, it takes about fifteen trees to make a ton of paper. That means that 720 million trees are used once and then buried in a landfill each year.

> By recycling 1 ton of paper you save:

    - 17 trees
    - 6953 gallons of water
    - 463 gallons of oil
    - 587 pounds of air pollution
    - 3.06 cubic yards of landfill space
    - 4077 kilowatt hours of energy

> Recycling paper saves large amounts of energy and water. Recycled paper requires 64% less energy than making paper from virgin wood pulp, and can save many trees. For example, one Sunday edition of the New York Times consumes about 75,000 trees.
