According to non-profit group Conservatree, it takes an average of 24 trees to make a ton (2,000 pounds) of typical office paper. It takes about 12 trees to make a ton (2,000 pounds) of thinner magazine or phone book paper.

They also estimate that 1 tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or 8,333.3 sheets.

Why should you use recycled paper?

Because it's good for the environment and it will save more trees. If we don't recycle and just throw it away, we have to cut down more trees to make more paper that would be unnecessary if we would just reuse the paper that we already have made. Recyclable paper helps the environment because it stops a lot of used paper being put into waste dumps or burn, and also if you recycle paper it means manufacturers don't have to cut down more trees to make paper.
