This document discusses the environmental benefits of recycling paper and reducing plastic waste. It states that recycling all US newspapers each year would save 250 million trees. Each ton of recycled paper saves 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, 4 billion watts of energy, and 7,000 gallons of water. It encourages recycling paper and not using styrofoam cups, which take 500 years to decompose, in order to reduce garbage in oceans and help the environment.
