Paper
The quantity of paper consumed by the judicial and legislative
branches of the federal government is unknown, but if they
use as much as the executive branch, then the federal governments
total consumption would roughly equal the amount of paper
produced through commercial logging on national forests annually.
( More than one-third of the timber cut on national forests
from 150,000 to 250,000 acres each year goes into paper
products. )
100 million trees per year are needed to produce junk mail.
It is estimated that 44% of the junk mail is never opened or
read.
