PAPER CHASE
Take a minute to look around the room you are in and notice how many things are made out of paper.
There may be books, a few magazines, some printer paper, and perhaps a poster on the wall. Yet, if you con-
sider that each person in the United States uses 749 pounds of paper every year (adding up to a whopping 187
billion pounds per year for the entire population, by far the largest per capita consumption rate of paper for any
country in the world), then you realize that paper comes in many more forms than meets the eye.
The fact is, world consumption of paper has grown four hundred percent in the last 40 years. Now nearly 4
billion trees or 35 % of the total trees cut around the world are used in paper industries on every continent. Be-
sides what you can see around you, paper comes in many forms from tissue paper to cardboard packaging, to
stereo speakers, to electrical plugs, to home insulation, to the sole inserts in your tennis shoes. In short, paper is
everywhere.
