They cut the trees

I went home yesterday and found a big surprise. They have started work beside my house for the new access road. This new access road has actually been planned by JKR for at least two years ago. The Government bought over some lands behind my house for this project, and was being told they paid the owners well. I regretted not taking an earlier photo of the view before they cut down the trees.

I wonder how many reams of paper could have been made from that. This is what I found: There is no simple answer to that, any number is just an estimate. Paper is made of a mix of types of wood, softwood, hardwood, and heights and width of bark has to take into considerations. The estimated typical calculation goes like this:

One ream equals 500 sheets of paper. And one ream uses 6% of a tree. This means 1 tree makes 16.67 reams of paper, which is equivalent to 8,333.33 papers. This may seem quite a large amount of paper. But think about how long it takes to grow a tree. And this question would go back to what type of trees you're growing.
