Print not only pays off--it pays back to the environment.
According to a study released by International Paper when you use paper, you are making a contribution to the environment by keeping the forests growing and responsibly managed. Here are more interesting facts from I.P.'s study;
1. Roughly 600 million trees are planted every year by the paper and forest products industry, surpassing the amount harvested.
2. Improved forest management, regeneration of forest areas and selective tree harvesting have resulted in a net uptake (sequestration) of carbon from 1990 to 2005. This is because older, unmanaged forests lose their ability to sequester carbon.
3. Many climate experts believe that the responsible management of forests offers one of the least expensive and best ways to fight against climate change.
4. The paper and forest products industry is one of the largest users of low-carbon energy in the world. Nearly 60% of the energy used to make paper in the U.S. comes from carbon-neutral renewable resources and is produced on site at mills.
5. Nearly 60% of all paper in the U.S. is recycled. In comparison, less that 20% of U.S. electronic devices are recycled.
6. Of the wood extracted from the world's forests, 53% is used for energy production, 28% is used by lumber mills and only 11% is used directly by the paper industry.
