If you're really worried about CO2 in the air, you shouldn't recycle paper at all. Every carbon atom in a sheet of paper was once part of a C02 molecule in the atmosphere. It's been sucked out of the atmosphere and sequestered in the paper. The thing to do with unwanted paper is bury it so deep the oxygen in the air can't get at it. That way you permanently remove it from the atmosphere. Recycling the paper passes up a chance to permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere.

"The thing to do with unwanted paper is bury it so deep the oxygen in the air can't get at it."

Except that carbon in the air is not really a significant problem. And the volume of carbon in paper used at today's (declining due to advances like e-book publishing) rate is such a microscopic fraction of the earth's natural carbon load that you could never measure the effect of your proposal.

And don't try to lay any "global warming" BS on us!

If you are truly commited to stopping "AGW" -- stop breathing!
