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 pounḋs (2.27 kg). How
much of this consumption is truly necessary, anḋ how much of your own paper
consumption coulḋ be avoiḋeḋ? State your assumptions.
SOLUTION
For example, on average, I use 15 pages per ḋay; then on a yearly basis, I use
5475 pages (15 x 365).
