As an “expert” on this subject (I was in the paper business for 35 years) this article leaves a lot to be challenged. Pretty much all the retail TP sold in the US is produced by 3 or 4 American companies. China has sent TP over here over the last few years but not retail. It is very hard to imagine someone is making TP from old grow forest or even clearing it for that use.

Of course it is!...This is just the usual whack left run amok save the _________ (fill in the blank) campaign.
I’m certainly no expert on this subject except as a consumer.
But I read recently that our supply of “soft” toilet paper was threatened. It appears that used newsprint is used in the production of the soft papers, and that the supply of used newsprint is running woefully short for the purpose.

My brother and BIL both work for Georgia Pacific. They have good, non union jobs, making paper towels, tp, napkins, etc. I have hunted and camped on GP land in Louisiana, (with permission from GP). Acres and acres of trees. They harvest and replant. There is always a huge mature forest. It’s a renewable resource.
