Doing the math, this pallet contains 200,000 pages of paper.

You would need 5 of these pallets to get to a million.

That's a lot of paper.

Yet at the same time, my kids' annual school supply list includes two reams of paper from every secondary student, which comes out to about 1,400 reams of paper, or more than 3 pallets, each year. Americans use a lot of paper.
