    Yup. Logging industry, at least in the US, is remarkably renewable. I remember reading that we have significantly more trees than we did 100 years ago because we’ve improved logging methods. No more clear cutting for pulp or lumber, proper replanting, and age-tracking for proper harvest.

    In other words, saying “don’t use paper, save a tree” is akin to saying “don’t eat fries, save a potato.”
