Environmental
Benefits


The following environmental savings
have been calculated based on Segal's recycled paper order consisting of 3,000.00 pounds of 100% postconsumer paper manufactured with windpower.

SAVINGS DERIVED FROM USING POSTCONSUMER RECYCLED FIBER IN LIEU OF VIRGIN FIBER:

  • 36.00 trees not cut down
  • 1,622.42 lbs. solid waste not generated
  • 103.95 lbs. waterborne waste not created
  • 3,170.80 lbs. atmospheric emissions eliminated
  • 15,291.90 gallons water/wastewater flow saved
  • 20,722,576.07 BTUs energy not consumed

SAVINGS DERIVED FROM CHOOSING A PAPER FROM MOHAWK'S WINDPOWER PORTFOLIO:

  • 448.16 lbs. air emissions (CO2, SO2 and NOX) not generated (because wind energy is emission-free!)

What is the fossil fuel equivalent for this amount of wind energy? 1,666.50 cubic feet natural gas

In other words, this amount of wind energy is equivalent to:

planting 30.34 trees (Trees fulfill the vital function of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere!)

or

Not traveling 500.00 miles in an average automobile (Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas is the primary by-product of fuel combustion.)
