Bonus (not so) fun fact: I’ve spent the last week and a half churning out oodles of paperwork in the name of conservation (the irony isn’t lost on me). According to Waste Management, the average person in the U.S. uses about 650 pounds of paper per year. That not only includes your photocopies at the office, but also newspapers, paper grocery bags, and other paper products. To add to that, only about half of the paper in the U.S. is recycled, with the rest going out with the garbage.

Try to reduce your paper usage when you can and recycle as much as you can. Every bit helps!
