Is that email worth printing? Are pixels really greener than paper? If these types of questions are on your mind, actually I suggest that they should be, then I have a website to recommend to you. This was put together by the folks at International Paper. It is fact based and delves quite nicely into the economic issues of a working forest. For instance did you know that the production of paper can lead to more trees? If private landowners can't make money as tree farmers then what are they to do? Likely that land would be sold for development. I would say the biggest boon to tree preservation is probably the slowing of the new home starts.

When forests are working ones then the trees that are harvested are replaced. How many trees are replaced when a new development that clear cuts replaces a working forest?

Here is the link. I highly recommend you go there!
