For the first time, RSM Outlook has been printed on 100 per cent recycled paper, saving 170 trees, 148 tonnes of fresh water, 1,823 litres of petroleum, and 23,354 kWh of electricity when compared to using virgin paper. In other words, an average Dutch family's annual fresh water demand, a complete tour of the 30,000km Australian coastline in a car, and enough electricity for seven Dutch families for a year.
