Hi.

Forgive me if this has been said already but

If you want to be green you want to contribute as little CO2 into the 
atmosphere as possible.
Recycling uses energy and thus contributes CO2.  So what would be better would 
be to do something that actively removes CO2 from the atmosphere such as 
using... trees.

So, specifying non-recycled paper is actually the greenest option as it removes 
the most CO2...

It seems counter intuitive but you actually want to use as much paper as 
possible!
