Question
We all rely on forest resources. The average North American
consumes 225 kg (500 lb) of paper and paperboard each year.
Using the estimates of paper and paperboard consumption for
each region, calculate the per capita consumption for each
using the population data in the table. Note: 1 metric ton 5
2205 pounds.
Describe three ways in which consuming FSC-certified
paper rather than conventional paper can reduce the environmental
impacts of paper consumption.
