Did you know . . . .Every year, Americans throw away enough office and writing paper to build a wall 12 feet high, stretching from Los Angeles to New York City.
This photo shows 29.4% of garbage is paper, but this figure is increasing and now 34.2% of all garbage is paper. Paper usage is rising by around 20% every year, with the average office worker using approximately 50 sheets of paper every day in the typical office. More than 100 million trees are destroyed each year to produce junk mail and American consumers receive 41 pounds of junk mail each year.
