    That’s very enlightened but no they plant and harvest whole forests for paper.

      That raises the question: it is better to do sustainable foresting or hemp farming ?

      No doubt that chopping down entire forest is terrible and for sure it’s being done, Amazonian rain-forest comes to mind. I hope this stops.

      Another interesting fact I’ve learned from my short time working in the paper industry: biggest growing demands are for 1. Toilet paper, 2. Packaging, while demand for printing paper is steadily decreasing.
