Recycling Bins

For one of my classes we get a LOT of papers. Vocab lists, worksheets, homework, conjunctions, other sheets to help us out with Spanish. The thing is there isn't a recycling bin in her class! If there isn't a recycling bin in any one of your classes definitely try to get one.

• approximately 324 L. of water is used to produce 1 KG of paper
• the average worldwide annual paper consumption is 48 KG per person
• North America accounting over 1/3 of the 48 KG
• an estimated 95% of business information is still stored on paper
