- I just noticed something in the latest Consumer Reports: "Trees used for paper
- are usually grown on tree farms for that purpose and are harvested at
- sustainable rates. Virtually no paper comes from the logging of ancient,
- irreplacable forests."
-
- Now I know Consumer Reports isn't really a primary source on this, but I
- tend to trust them. Comments anyone?
