OH WOW!!! NO, i didn't know that, or even realize that. That is absolutely incredible, if it was up to me, we could do that, cause i don't ever receive the paper, or ever buy one. A paper is definitely something that i can live without.. But wow, 500,000 trees, that's amazing.

We are losing over 4 miles of rainforest a week it think it is so awareness of everything counts. No newspaper is even better.

That is crazy. People need to realize this, even though if they did. Most of them wouldn't even care, or try to make a difference. I believe in saving everything that you possibly can, and even recycling.

The question is almost moot. In the past few years the internet has put many major Newspapers out of business. Because of tree huggers keeping forests from being farmed has created a wealth of undergrowth and tinder from dead plant life that builds up and creates fuel for potential fires that if ignited burn hotter and destroy more acreage that farming would help control.

Those tree huggers are keeping your lungs full of air buddy. I know the almighty dollar is what Republicans worshihp but you need to see the forest FOR the trees, remember.

Did you not read what I said? Farming replants trees and helps control from having forest fires that pollute the air we breathe. Are you calling me a Republican? I'm not a republican, but i'm not a Socialist either.

Republicans use such misguided phrases as tree huggers, so I assumed. Tree huggers actually are people who wish to save the environment. No one has issue with replanting, or keeping the forests from burning out, I'm talking about conserving paper. It's wasteful.

That does seem like a tragedy when stated in those terms. Thanks Sharona. :)

Or a hopeful path. That is so little to do so much.

Most trees are a completely renewable resource. I'm all in favor of recycling for a number of trees but saving the trees from which most paper is made is like saving wheat.
