Americans use approximately 8 million tons of paper a year.
Forests help keep the planet cool and have the ability to capture greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide from the air. When we clear forests, trees release all of the carbon they’ve been storing back into the atmosphere. Americans use approximately 8 million tons of paper a year. You can help save trees and reduce pollution by buying recycled material notebooks, and they are roughly the same amount of money that you would spend on a normal college-ruled notebook.
