Bene�ts of Eliminating Travel through e-Learning

The world's 16,000 commercial jet aircraft produce more than 600 million tons of CO2 annually - Almost as much as the entire African continent

30,000 people are killed by car emissions annually in the United States alone

The average American spends 51 minutes a day commuting to and from

work/training

The average American spends $8,758 annually on transportation

About 3.5 litres of oil is required to produce an original laser

printer cartridge and 90 millilitres of oil is used to produce each ink

jet cartridge

Paper manufacturing is the 3rd largest user of fossil fuels worldwide.

If the U.S cut o�ce paper use by just 10% it would prevent the emission of 1.6 million tons of greenhouse gases -- the equivalent of taking 280,000 cars o� the road.

Printing and writing papers use the least amount of recycled

content -- just 6%

Each year over 350 million cartridges are thrown out to land�lls and it takes 1,000 years for the plastic in a single cartridge to decompose.
