1.20 Estimate The Amount Of Copy Or Printing Paper That You Use Every Year. A 500-
Sheet Ream Of Copy Paper Has An Approximate Mass Of 5 Pounds (2.27 Kg). How
Much Of This Consumption Is Truly Necessary, And How Much Of Your Own Paper
Consumption Could Be Avoided? State Your Assumptions.
SOLUTION
For Example, On Average, I Use 15 Pages Per Day; Then On A Yearly Basis, I Use 5475
Pages (15 X 365).
5475 Pages 5 Pounds Pounds Of
( )( ) = 54.75
Year 500 Pages Paper
