Do you see how the visual impact of the pie chart registers just how big a chunk of landfill garbage is paper waste alone? Now imagine listening to this data being recited. Each person generates more than four pounds of garbage each day of his or her life. Each year, Americans receive almost four million tons of junk mail with 44% never even opened. If only 100,000 people stopped their junk mail, we could save up to 150,000 trees annually. If a million people did this, we could save up to a million and a half trees. Americans also.
