These facts were printed in our local paper, The Banff Crag and Canyon. They further cement the reasons why we should all choose to recycle each day.
- The average household throws away 13,000 separate pieces of paper each year. Most is packaging and junk mail.
- If all our newspaper was recycled we could save about 250,000,000 trees a year!
- Recycling a single run of the Sunday Times would save approximately 75,000 trees.
- The amount of wood and paper we throw away each year is enough to heat 50,000,000 homes for 20 years.
- The average person uses seven trees a year in paper, wood, and other products made from trees. This amounts to about 2,000,000,000 trees per year!
