I hear that Venezuelan Bolivars are a cheaper alternative.

How many trees have to come down in order to put up a wind farm, you reckon?

Can’t even use a Sears’ catalog, because Sears is even more endangered than Canadian boreal forests.

Precisely. The article misleads one into thinking that they clear cut an area the size of Nebraska.

What we are seeing here is a confluence of bad ideas - made-up facts, bad science, and a greenie desire for micromanaging power, right down to what kind of toilet paper you use.

And don't think they intend to live under those strictures themselves. Leftism is all about creating "special people" and rules for the rest of us.

Not true. The planet had even more forest at some point in its past. The vast supplies of coal prove it. Maybe more tree cover than in recent history though.

Can’t argue with that. But in the US there are many many acres with old fencing or walls where fields for grazing used to be that are now forests. Don’t mow your lawn for 10 years and it will be totally covered with 20 foot trees. Ban lawn mowers! LOL!

That is true. Ohio was all forest then denuded and now reforesting. It would be even more pronounced but for the idiotic gov policies on ethanol/corn.

Everyone should mail their used paper to her for recycling.

The big paper producers grow thousands of acres of select pines for their use. The will plant 3 acres for every 1 acre of harvest. This insures that they will always have raw product for the future. Virgin forests are much harder to harvest from because of the undergrowth and the tree spacing. The paper manufacturers make toilet paper, paper towels and printer paper and without logs on their yard, they will go out of business.

The left is just attacking another American industry.

Toilet paper is made of naturally sequestered carbon.
