I just had to comment on the silly statement about slaughtering trees. Trees for paper are grown in managed timberlands as an agricultural crop. Not using paper in order to save trees is like not eating salad in order to "save" lettuce. Trees are a renewable resource, and more trees are planted than are harvested. Additionally, more trees are destroyed by fire and insects than are harvested for paper. If you are curious about recycled paper, in addition to having the use of creating many products from tissue to cardboard, its use is mainly to save landfill space.

Shh, it makes me feel better to think that all my books are dead trees. I think enviros get way too worked up about that stuff. I'm also proudly in the software biz which was supposed to usher in a paperless society but instead has resulted in doubling our paper usage. I'm also the guy that jokes about animals suffering for my existence as I buy beef jerky.
