The following information is copied from the website of the Temperate Forest Foundation {http://www.forestinfo.org/ Discover/facts.htm#Recycling}: ∑ In 1995, some 1.6 billion seedlings were planted in the U.S. - more than 5 new trees a year for every American.† Millions of additional trees were naturally reforested. ∑ Private owners account for 59% of the nationís 490 million acres of commercial forestland; government owns 27%; and the forest industry owns 14%. ∑ Each person in the United States consumes approximately 675 pounds of paper a year. ∑ On the average, everyone uses the equivalent of a tree, 18 inches in diameter - 100 foot tall, every year. Thatís 80 cubic feet! The United States is a wood-rich country; people in the United States (on average) use about three times as much wood each day as people in the rest of the world. One of the most common uses for wood around the world is for fuel! And finally, a surprise for (almost) all Kentuckians: 3M Corporationís popular product, Post-It Notes, are manufactured exclusively in Cynthiana, (Harrison County), Kentucky! (T.
