• PIAC reports that each ton of paper recycled saves over 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space. Paper recycling also decreases disposal needs and removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that recycling one ton of paper saves up to 7,000 gallons of water and approximately 16 trees, which extends the available fiber supply, as well as saving  the equivalent of the amount of energy needed to power an average American home for up to six months.  According to Greenerite.com, recycling also saves an estimated two barrels of oil for every ton of paper recycled, estimating each ton to be worth 400 kilowatt hours of electricity.

• By switching from incandescent bulbs to energy-efficient compact fluorescents that deliver outstanding efficiency, we have seen an increase of up to 75% in energy savings. That translates into significant cost savings as well as waste avoidance since compact fluorescents can last over 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs.
