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].
