taken for granted

you know, it's strange what you take for granted in this world, like paper. my history teacher has graciously put that into perspective for me. there are lets say 3 million trees in the world, and 2 million of them are used for paper, 500,000 are used for toilet paper, 25,000 are used for nothing and are made into paper but end up in waste, and 25,000 are left, and where does that go? lets see, enjoyment, lumber, homes for animals, firewood, and a whole lot more that i just can't think of. puts things in perspective huh?
