How Much of the Amazon Would it Take to Print the Internet?

Journal of Interdisciplinary Science Topics How Much of the Amazon Would it Take to Print the Internet? George Harwood & Evangeline Walker The Centre for Interdisciplinary Science, University of Leicester 06/03/2015 Abstract This paper explores the idea of printing every page of the internet onto a standard A4 piece of paper, and how many trees, in terms of a percentage of the Amazon rainforest, would be required in the process. By making some assumptions about the size of the Internet, and the type of tree available in the Amazon, it is found that 2.1x10% would be required in order to print Wikipedia alone, 0.002% to encompass the entire non-explicit internet and 2% including the 'Dark web Introduction Despite only being 25 years old, the Internet has grown so that in 2014, 40% of people in the world were using it [1]. Its growth has been not only in the number of people utilising it, but also the amount of information contained in pages within it. What if these pages, instead of being beyond a computer screen, were printed onto actual paper pages? To illustrate how much paper, and consequently how many trees would be needed in this endeavour, the Amazon rainforest has been chosen as a theoretical source for the 'real pages' of the web. However, this is a very conservative assumption, as many web pages could require a conservative estimate of as many as 100 paper pages. Therefore an estimate of average paper pages per web pages of the Internet is estimated as at least 30: 4.54× 109×30= 1.36× 1011paper pages (2) It is approximately this many pages required to print the Internet. Paper from Trees The Amazon rainforest, situated in South America, is To establish how many trees would be needed to the largest rainforest on Earth, despite having lost at print the required number of paper pages, the least 20% due to deforestation [2], it still spans an principle of obtaining paper from trees must be impressive 5.5 million square kilometres, and is discussed. The pulp used to produce paper can be home to approximately 400 billion trees [3]. How many pages? To solve this problem the first thing to consider is how many web pages the internet consists of. English Wikipedia, a substantial website, contains 4723991 pages alone [4]. By considering ten of these pages randomly, an estimate of the average number of paper pages they would each require is estimated as 15, therefore: made from many softwood trees including Birch and Oak, and hardwood trees such as Fir and Pine [6]. Whilst these trees are contained within the 16000 species in the Amazon, for the purposes of this model, it will be assumed that all 3.9x1011 trees can be used to make paper [7]. A reasonable assumption considering the wide variety of trees that are available for this purpose If it were also assumed that the trees of the Amazon are equally distributed across its entire area, then there would be 70909 trees per km2. It is possible to obtain approximately 17 reams of paper per usable tree. There are 500 sheets of individual paper in each ream. This results in a total of 8500 sheets of paper obtainable per tree [8]. 4723991 × 15 = 70859865 paper pages (1) If this is applied to the Internet as a whole, its 4.54 billion pages [5] corresponds to a staggering 6.81x10 "paper pages. 10

How Much of the Amazon Would it Take to Print the Internet?

How much of the Amazon would it take to print the Internet?, March 6th 2015 Results As aforementioned, 70859865 sheets of paper are required to print English Wikipedia. In reams of paper this would result in: However striking these numbers may appear, what percentage of the Amazon rainforest would actually be destroyed if one were to print the Internet? With a total of 5.5 million km', the 113 km equals only 0.002% of the total rainforest a minute amount to print the entire Internet 70859865 500 141720 reams of paper(3) With 17 reams of paper per tree, this results in a Conclusion total of 8337 trees required to print this one By making some assumptions about the size of the website. In terms of the Amazon rainforest, with Internet, how much paper can be gained per tree, 70909 trees per km2, English Wikipedia would only and that all trees within the amazon can be utilized consume 12% of a single km2, (assuming every tree for paper, it has been possible to determine that the can be used for paper.) printing of the non-explicit Internet would require 0.002% of this rainforest. Whilst this is a very small For the entirety of the Internet however, more of percentage, combined with the numerous other the Amazon would be consumed. With the uses for trees i.e, as a source of material for estimated 6.81x1010 paper pages required to print construction, the rate of deforestation in the the Internet, this corresponds to Amazon is hardly surprising. 661 1010 Also, it is thought the non-explicit web is only a mere 0.2% of the total internet, the rest encompassing the Dark Web [9]. This would mean that printing the entire internet including Dark web would use 2% of the rainforest = 13.62 × 107 reams of paper (4) 500 Continuing the assumption of 17 reams of paper per tree, this would require 8011765 trees.

The concept is not only impossible to execute, but any attempt to execute it does more real, material harm than intellectual or aesthetic good. There just has to be a better way This is just a waste of paper I seriously think that there is no way all of the pages of Internet can be exposed in a small place like that. Paper should be used for books and magazines. This is madness! Paint or make a sculpture, or write poems, but this is disgusting! Transcribe the Internet instead of printing it. It's better both environmentally and conceptually. I dont want my future children to live in a world with no trees but with the printed-out Internet. 18 HARPER'S MAGAZINE/AUGUST 2013
