Save 5,184 Trees per Year!

We can save trees immediately by using the digital Sacrament Meeting Program app!

• 30,940 Congregations – In its' 2019 Statistical Report, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reported 3,437 stakes with 30,940 congregations worldwide.
• 70 Copies – I create the sacrament meeting programs for my ward and print 70 copies every week.
• 2,165,800 Programs per Week – If each of the 30,940 congregations worldwide, prints 70 copies of their sacrament meeting program every week (like my ward), that's a total of 2,165,800 printed programs per week (skip 2 weeks for General Conference, and 2 weeks for Stake Conference). That's 103,958,400 printed programs per year!
• 20,000 Pages per Tree – Its estimated that 10,000 to 20,000 pages of paper can be produced from one tree (I looked this up on the Internet).
• Save 108 Trees per Week! – If we're printing 2,165,800 programs per week, and we divide this by the 20,000 pages of paper we get per tree; Latter-day Saints can save 108 trees per week by using digital programs.
• Save 5,184 Trees per Year! – If we save 108 trees per week, times 48 weeks per year (skip 2 weeks for General Conference, and 2 weeks for Stake Conference) that's 5,184 trees per year Latter-day Saints can save worldwide!

We all want to do our part to protect the environment. We'd like your help. Please ask your family and friends to use the Sacrament Meeting Program app.
