Another thought, if the trees are being grown and harvested sustainably, that’s potentially one of the few economical methods of carbon capture. Make long lasting items with wood to trap carbon for a long time.
Thankfully, my books are made out of the flesh of my enemies.
Recycling for a cleaner future!
Please attach a note so that after you death, nobody accidentally reads it out loud and create an Evil Dead situation thankyouverymuch.
At least trees are renewable resources. I think most pulp woods are from tree farms rather than old growth forests.
The trees can’t be harmed
If the Lorax is armedYou fuck with the trees i take out your knees
Are new trees actually cut down for paper? Seems much more practical to use sawdust from sawmills. Is there more paper demand than the amount of dust you’d get from making lumber?
Paper is a CO2 sink so good for the environment.
It’s a short term one, though. Better to not cut down trees unnecessarily.
Sawmills I knew about rotated areas they’d cut from and did tree planting in the summers in the areas logged to be sustainable. Of course in Canada there’s not much shortage of trees to cut down anyways but I thought that was the usual way in US and Canada. I don’t mean we should be cutting down 1/20th (I’m not sure how many years the rotations were offhand) of the trees each year or anything though.
If you’re eating beef, you’re doing much more damage to the trees than reading books can ever realistically do.
