This document discusses paper usage and waste in offices. It notes that over 50% of office waste going to landfills is paper. Recycling paper causes 74% less water pollution, 35% less air pollution, and accounts for 10% less felled trees compared to making virgin paper. The average office worker uses 1500 unnecessary sheets of paper per year. The document promotes the Greenbox initiative, which provides recycling boxes for offices to reduce paper waste, save resources, and lower carbon emissions. Greenbox aims to increase awareness, education, and sustainable habits around paper consumption.
