Some words to think about before you throw that paper:
Today, 90% of paper pulp is made of wood. Paper production accounts for about 35% of felled trees, and represents 1.2% of the world's total economic output.
Recycling of newsprint saves about 1 ton of wood while recycling 1 ton (1.1 short tons) of printing or copier paper saves slightly more than 2 tons of wood.This is because kraft pulping requires twice as much wood since it removes lignin to produce higher quality fibres than mechanical pulping processes. Relating tons of paper recycled to the number of trees not cut is meaningless, since tree size varies tremendously and is the major factor in how much paper can be made from how many trees.
It has been estimated that recycling half the world’s paper would avoid the harvesting of 20 million acres (80,000 km²) of forestland.
Also collecting office copy paper and selling them to junk shop can be rewarding. Back then in my work I collect used copy paper without important company info and sell it to junk shop. I get about Php 10 - Php 50 depending on the weight thus in the early Saturday morning I have hot pandesal from the trash that I help out to be recycled.
