Green Work: By the Numbers


  • Once: the number of times that most of the more than 25 billion cartons manufactured in the U.S. are used.

  • 55 percent: the amount of water saved by producing recycled paper as compared to virgin paper. Recycled paper also takes 60-70 percent less energy to produce than paper from virgin pulp.

  • 120: the number of tons of steel saved if every UK office worker used one less staple a day.

  • 8 billion: the number of gallons of gas saved if every commuter car in the U.S. carried just one more person.
