Calculating environmental impact.A Web-based "Paper Calculator calculator or calculating machine, device for performing numerical computations; it may be mechanical, electromechanical, or electronic. The electronic computer is also a calculator but performs other functions as well. " launched by Environmental Defense helps organizations measure the affect of their paper use on the environment and determine how they can reduce that impact. The Paper Calculator provides users with U.S. average wood consumption, energy use and other environmental impacts of 13 types of paper across their life cycles. It allows users to compare the relative environmental impacts of papers made with different levels of recycled content and to see how using less paper or changing other specifications can reduce environmental impacts. "Using less paper and switching to recycled paper conserves wood, water and energy and helps reduce pollution and waste," Environmental Defense Project Manager Tom Murray Tom Murray may refer to:
