October 31, 2011 | By Kranti

Here are some startling facts I came across online, about paper and its consumption in the US:

Every year the U.S. uses nearly 3.7 million tons of paper – that is more than 700 billion sheets
A Xerox survey reveals that U.S. office workers print more than 1,000 pages a

Other studies by Xerox reveal that office workers throw away 45 percent of their documents within 24 hours of printing them

10,000 sheets of paper per year are used by a single US office worker.
