I just had to throw away 400 sheets of paper which I printed incorrectly and I am having guilt issues.

Although it seems simple, the answer to this question is really quite complicated. There are many factors which influence the amount of paper that can be made from one tree. It is impossible to know exactly how much paper can be made from one tree.

But let's assume that the following paper products have been produced using 100 percent hardwood. A cord of wood is approximately 8 feet wide, 4 feet deep, and 4 feet high. A cord of air-dried, dense hardwood (oak, hickory, etc.) weighs roughly 2 tons, about 15-20 percent of which is water.

It has been estimated that one cord of this wood will yield one of these approximate quantities of products:

1,000-2,000 pounds of paper (depending on the process)
942 100-page, hard-cover books
61,370 No. 10 business envelopes
4,384,000 commemorative-sized postage stamps
460,000 personal checks
1,200 copies of National Geographic
2,700 copies of an average daily newspaper

not sure but 1 tree can make 1000 matches. But remember it only takes 1 match to burn 1000 trees which is terrible!
