Not a lot. It is far easier and cheaper to make paper from used paper and card than it is to make if from fresh trees. You can add water to used paper and turn it into pulp in a matter of minutes.
Using trees and tree waste to make paper also releases the carbon that has been stored in the wood, perhaps for years.

What can you do to help chimps?
Take care of your community, recycle paper and phones you don't use!
What are the harmful effects of paper?
If you do not recycle paper then that paper will make its way to the landfill where it will take up space. Paper recycling also helps to reduce the number of trees that paper companies need to grow for paper production. Paper recycling also requires less energy than producing new paper from raw materials. On the other hand paper recycling does require the use of harsh chemicals (bleach) which can be an environmental problem if not handled properly, and the gas given off by decomposing paper in a landfill can be harnessed and converted into energy.
Does it take less time to recycle than make new paper?
Yes, much less time. It takes a matter of minutes to turn paper into pulp (just add water and mix). The whole process of making paper from recovered paper and cardboard takes less than one hour. Turning a fresh tree into woodchips and then breaking them down to pulp takes much longer and uses much more energy, as well as releasing the carbon that has been stored in the wood perhaps for years.

What is to recycle?
REDUCE - Create less land fill RECYCLE - Take the waste and reused it in making other products i.e. metal cans used to go to land fill now make more cans, paper and card are recycled to make more paper
Can you recycle paper bag?
yeess fold it up nicely and re use it. take it back to the store when you shop and use those bags instead of new ones. Or if you find a recycle bin, throw it in there. Or you can burn the paper bags and use the ashes as fertilizer for your garden.
How can you recycle and reuse the same item?
Yes, you could take a lot of paper and make it into new paper (recycling) and then you could draw a picture on it then give it to a person as a gift (reusing).
What is reduce to recycle?
REDUCE - Create less land fill RECYCLE - Take the waste and reused it in making other products i.e. metal cans used to go to land fill now make more cans, paper and card are recycled to make more paper
What does recycling turn to?
When you recycle paper it turns from normal paper to recycled paper; which is taken somewhere else and sold as recycled paper that can be reused and recycled again and keep going for a long time. To recycle paper (or plastic, rubber, etc.) you would take it to a recycling plant (or if one is in your area, put it into the recycling dumpster). They do all the rest.
How much energy does it take to manufacture a paper plate?
come on people ineed the answer ineed it for school answer the dang question
I would to know the cost of shredding paper and the cost of disposing of electronics Also when wil be the next you will be in the west Toledo or Sylvania area?
You can take old electronics to best buy to dispose of and take paper to a recycle place and watch them shred it and get paid for the paper instead.
How can recycling cans help earth?
Recycling can help the Earth in many ways. If you recycle paper, you save trees, which in turn reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere and reduce global warming. Trees photosynthesise, where they take in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and give out oxygen. Carbon dioxide is the main reason for global warming as it traps the Sun's heat in Earth's atmosphere. If you recycle aluminum, you save energy, as it takes much less energy to melt cans into fresh aluminum. Most energy comes from electricity produced by burning coal, so you cut down on carbon dioxide. The same with glass.
What energy conversions take place when a piece of paper is burned?
When a piece of paper is burned, the chemical potential energy stored in the paper is converted into thermal energy (heat) and light energy (flames). The combustion process releases these forms of energy as the bonds in the paper molecules break and recombine with oxygen from the air.
