recycling awareness around campus

while eating lunch at one of the cafeterias on campus today i noticed a little recycling fact on the napkin holder. it said "every day, enough paper is recycled in the United States to fill a 15 mile long train of boxcars." that's interesting, but it doesn't encourage recycling or encourage using fewer napkins. if napkins were frequently recycled, or if these napkins were made of all recycled materials, it would make sense. i think there should have been a fact about how much paper is wasted every day so that people are more aware of how many napkins they use.
