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.

Environmental Benefits: 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.)
