Almost 46 percent of American paper was recycled in 2000
Almost 30 percent of American paper was recycled in 1990
Recycled paper is 5 to 10 dollars.
No, recycled paper needs much LESS energy. It's much easier to make paper from recycled papers than from cutting down trees, chipping them, mashing them into fiber, pulping them and so on.
not much paper

i don't really know oops
2 trees Hmmm...is this a trick question? A ream of paper made of recycled paper wouldn't need any trees at all. And in any event, I doubt it would take two trees to make a ream of paper...recycled or new.
It takes a lot of water to change wood chips into paper. It takes much less water to make paper out of recycled paper. It's a much easier process.
It depends on how much paper one person recycles; the organizations do not give stats for one person. However, every ton (2000 pounds) of recycled paper can save 17 trees. That means each tree is worth about 117.647058824 pounds of paper (rounded up it is 117.65 pounds). According to the University of Southern Indiana, "The average household throws away 13,000 separate pieces of paper each year. Most is packaging and junk mail." "If every American recycled just one-tenth of their newspapers, we would save about 25,000,000 trees a year."
