			*If you had a 15-year-old tree and made it into paper grocery bags, 
			you'd get about 700 of them. A supermarket could use all of them in 
			under an hour! This means in one year, one supermarket goes through 
			60,500,000 paper bags! Imagine how many supermarkets there are in 
			the U.S.!!!</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.uaacog.com/Newspaper_Recycling.htm"><DIV>
