Energy savings - recycling paper:
The Department of Energy states that a ton of paper made from recycled fibers conserves 7,000 gallons of water, up to 31 trees, 4,000 KWh of electricity and up to 60 pounds of air pollutants (not including carbon dioxide).
Overall, recycling paper uses about 60% less energy than making paper from new materials
To convert the above figures to energy use per ream (500 pages), it is helpful to know that a ream of common paper weighs about 2.5 kgs.
Australians use about 3.5 million tonnes of paper every year.

the use of recycling paper is to save trees to prevent soil erosion
