This is an easy to use reference which was compiled and written byLeyla Acaroglu (with some minor modifications of my own) who consults designers on sustainable practice. Her website is: http://www.ecoinnovators.com.au/

What Using PCW paper saves
Using 100% PCW recycled paper reduces our carbon footprint, doesn't add to landfills and saves our forests. But, what does that really mean in numbers? Using 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper results in:
45% less energy use
38% less greenhouse gasses produced
45% less wastewater generated
50% less solid waste created
100% less wood use
In fact, using 20 cases of Envirographic 100 paper that is made with 100% post-consumer waste rather than non-recycled paper saves the following resources:
2 tons of wood used (approximately 13 trees)
4,700 gallons of water (273 eight-minute showers)
9 million btu of energy (enough energy to power an average American household for 37 days)
548 pounds of solid waste (18.5 thirty-two gallon garbage cans)
1,039 pounds of greenhouse gases (equivalent of carbon sequestered by about 13 tree seedlings grown for ten years)
