[GreenYes] Re: Calculate enviro. savings from green printing

[Susan Kinsella <susan@no.address>]

Environmental Defense has a terrific paper calculator at
http://www.papercalculator.org that includes trees, water use, water
pollution, air pollution, and more, with conversions to everyday
comparisons. It is a more user-friendly version of the calculator they
originally built for the Office of the Federal Environmental Executive
website. You will need either Internet Explorer or Firefox to work with the
interactive data. 

If you want to go into some of the background on how the tree stats were
arrived at and what they mean for typical products, you can check the
statistics page on Conservatree's website at
http://www.conservatree.org/learn/EnviroIssues/TreeStats.shtml
We worked with Environmental Defense on the calculations for "how many
trees" for their paper calculator.
