Recycling - Why should I Recycle?

• The average college student produces 640 pounds of solid waste each year, including 500 disposable cups and 320 pounds of paper.
• Today, 62 million newspapers will be printed in the U.S., and 44 million will be thrown away. That means the equivalent of 500,000 trees will be dumped into landfills this week.
• Americans throw away the equivalent of more than 30 million trees in newsprint each year.
• Americans discard 4 million tons of office paper every year-enough to build a 12 Foot Wall from New York to California.
