And if that paper is recycled AND made with windpower:

In other words, this amount of wind energy is equivalent to:

According to the U.S. Census, 500,000 people represents about 1% of the U.S. population, and a mere decimal point of the population in developed nations. Imagine the savings if one half-million people switched to recycled paper made with windpower for two years. Five years. Ten years. Printing on recycled paper for that time is the equivalent of replenishing our forests with over three million trees.

Obviously, if one billion people in the world stopped driving, switched to solar energy and stopped making copies altogether, greenhouse emissions would plummet. But let's be realistic: that is not going to happen. Yet each of us makes a substantive impact on the environment, helping to reduce the carbon footprint, by making a more thoughtful selection of the paper we choose. Looking for a paper with recycled content is a start. Selecting a paper that is also manufactured with non-polluting energy is even better for our planet. Look for "windpower" on the label of the paper you purchase.

There is only one copy paper that meets those criteria in the U.S. Mohawk Color Copy 100% PCW. For a list of retailers, contact Mohawk at 1-800 the mill.
