Eliminate Copiers – Need for Change
With all the office paper we waste every year we could build a 12-foot high wall of paper from
New York to California
Sustainability
If the U.S could cut office paper use by just 10% it would prevent
the emission of 1.6 million tons of greenhouse gases (the equivalent of taking 280,000
cars off the road).
Paper and Cardboard make up to 73 percent of material in Landfills
