Why Use So Much Paper?
Why use so much paper? It is impossible to know how many pounds of paper comes from 1 tree. But we do know that 1 cord of wood is about 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of paper. (1 cord is a 4 foot x 4 foot x 8 foot stack of logs.)
Trees also give us oxygen. If you cut down trees we will not have as much oxygen. Trees are animals houses.
So try to use as little paper as possible and not cut down as many trees. Try to use environmental stuff like recycled napkins and paper towels. Be smart and be like me.
