How Many Trees Could You Save?
One of our clients, Richland School District Two, computed the number of trees they would save each year by replacing paper direct deposit advices with electronic pay stubs online. Did you know?
-
It takes one tree to produce 83 lbs of paper.
-
For 8,800 pay stubs / month it takes them 160 lbs of paper per month, or 1,920 lbs of paper per year.
By doing the math they computed that they would save approximately 24 trees per year.
You can compute your potential tree savings:
-
Determine the number of boxes of forms used per year.
-
Weigh a box of forms and multiply the weight by the number of boxes used to get the weight of paper used per year.
-
Use the following formula to compute your tree savings per year.
(# of Lbs of Paper Eliminated per Year) / 83
= Number of Trees Saved per Year
