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.
