 * //1 ton of uncoated virgin (non-recycled) printing and office paper uses 24 trees//
 * //1 ton of 100% virgin (non-recycled) newsprint uses 12 trees//
 * //A “pallet” of copier paper (20-lb. sheet weight, or 20#) contains 40 cartons and weighs 1 ton. Therefore,//
 * //1 carton (10 reams) of 100% virgin copier paper uses .6 trees//
 * //1 tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or 8,333.3 sheets//
 * //1 ream (500 sheets) uses 6% of a tree (and those add up quickly!)//
