Recycling 1 Ton of Paper:
-Uses 7,000  fewer gallons of water
-Saves 35% of the water pollution
-70% of the air pollution produced in making new paper
-Uses 4100 KWH less energy
-Saves 390 gallons of oil
-It Takes 3 Tons of Trees to Produce 1 Ton of Virgin Cardboard (EPA)

Calculation:
-3.5M * 1.5 cu. Ft = 4.5M cu ft.
-4.5M cu ft / 27 = 166,667 cu yards.
-166,667 cu yd * 300 lb =  50,000,100 lbs,

-50,000,100lb / 2,000 = 25,000.05  tons
-1 ton of cardboard = 9 cu yards of landfill
-25,000.05 tons * 9 cu yards = 225,000.45 cu yards
-5,000cu  yd = 1 football field @ 3ft deep, www.Fema.gov
-1 ton of cardboard boxes = 17 trees
