How many?

Ever wondered how many freesheets there are around the world? According to data gathered by newspaperinnovation.com there are free daily newspapers available in 41 countries.

30 million
freesheets are being printed daily.

London's 1.5 million freesheets equate to the consumption, after recycled pulp usage, of 400 trees every day. That means the worldwide tree consumption on a daily basis is 8000 trees, approximately. How much acreage is that I wonder?

A big thank you to Piet Bakker for his support and for putting together such a comprehensive blog on all things freesheet.
