How many houses could you build?

If you converted all of the paper that you have used for loan documents into lumber? I know that some of you who have been doing this for several years have cut down quite a few trees worth of paper. I've only been doing this for a few months and I could probably make a small set of stairs, or a balcony.

I could make that tree house I've always wanted to build.

I think I could have built an addition on to my home with all the paper I've gone through.
I wish I had a quarter for every borrower that said "how many trees did we kill".

The good news is every time you might think we're running out of trees, visit Oregon!

I just printed 516 pages of a 1st & 2nd that I printed last week and it cancelled. So, at the rate of 1032 pages a person that would be one tree??

t has been estimated that one cord of this wood will yield one of these approximate quantities
of products:

• 1,000-2,000 pounds of paper (depending on the process)
• 942 100-page, hard-cover books
• 61,370 No. 10 business envelopes
• 4,384,000 commemorative-sized postage stamps
• 460,000 personal checks
• 1,200 copies of National Geographic
• 2,700 copies of an average daily newspaper
(Source: A Tree for Each American, American Forest & Paper Association, Washington, DC)

So, how many cords of wood does it take to make enough lumber to build a house? And how many loan packages would it take to weigh in at ~1500 pounds (don't count Ameriquest loans )?

I could probably recreate a full scale copy of Vatican City.
