Calculating ecological footprints
we all rely on forest resources. the average north american consumes 225kg (500lb) of paper and paperboard per year. using the estimates of paper and paperboard consumption for each region of the world, calculate the per capita consumption for each region using the population data in the table. note that 1 metric ton = 2,205 lb.
population (millions)

(millions of metric tons)

1. how much paper would north americans save each year if we consumed paper at the rate of europeans?
2. how much paper would be consumed if everyone in the world used as much paper as the average european? as the average north american?
3. why do you think people in other regions consume less paper, per capita, than north americans? name three things you could do to reduce your paper consumption.
4. describe three ways in which consuming fsc-certified paper rather than conventional paper can reduce the environmental impacts of paper consumption.
