We need every tree to breathe for us and with global warming there will be fewer trees.  Shortly it will be unAmerican to possess anything printed.

Absolutely right, we need more trees, but paper production doesn' t work that way. Trees are harvested, like crops, and are continuously replanted by producers to replace the trees that are harvested.

Misconception 1: Making Paper Destroys Forests

This is a common misconception. Yes, it’s true that paper requires cellulose pulp and fibers from trees, and trees remain the most popular source of cellulose for paper products. However, modern paper companies are a far cry from the clear-cutting loggers of the past.

Think about it – companies like Domtar, Verso, Sappi, International Paper, and other paper companies rely on the forest for the continued success of their business. How would it be in their best interest to destroy forests with no intention of replacing the trees that are used to make paper? Sustainability of harvestable areas is crucial to the long-term survival of any paper company, and that means that sustainable, managed forests are crucial to the business model of each and every paper manufacturer.

The harvested areas for paper companies are also known as “managed forests”. Essentially, detailed models are built that allow trees to be harvested sustainably. For each tree that is cut down, several are planted or naturally regrown in its place, at a rate that keeps the environment stable.
