Ways to Plant Trees for Boxes

We need over 660 million trees just to sustain our use of boxes in the United States on a yearly basis.

 

Here’s the math:

 

In the United States we use over 100 billion boxes per year. One tree can produce approximately 151 boxes. Under this assumption, we need at least 660 million trees just to produce the boxes that we require in the United States per year.

 

As a company that relies on the Earth’s natural resources we make it a priority to seek out the best resources to sustain the Earth. In light of paper consumption, this week we’re sharing a few great ways to help you plant a tree.
