Infoshred’s Mission Statement
Why Infoshred?
- The amount of wood and paper we throw away each year is enough to heat 50,000,000 homes for 20 years.
- Approximately 1 billion trees worth of paper are thrown away every year in the U.S.
- The average household throws away 13,000 separate pieces of paper each year. Most is packing and junk mail.
Think about it.
