Okay, I know I have said this before, so apologies to all who are reading this for the 83rd time.
But the paper made here in the US and in Canada (and many other responsible countries) is made from trees grown much like crops specifically for the purpose of making paper. The trees are scientifically engineered for speedy growth and greater pulp yield. In these managed forests, more trees are actually planted each year then are cut down.
