# paper use, despite propaganda to the contrary, has no effect on rainforests.
legitimate paper companies do not run around stealing trees from the poor animals, wood manufacture is big business and in order to make it sustainable, they grow their own trees or encourage farmers to grow them for paper and other wood use. want more trees? use more paper.

however, I don't have a printer, so I mostly agree.

# is there not a lot of pollution involved in the logistics of it all - the logging, transport, pulping, processing etc.?

# yes
is there a production system which uses raw materials to create a product that just appears without some sort of potential pollution along the way? poor regulation of recycling also means that the recycling of paper produces many harmful chemicals which are pumped into rivers or the ocean in some cases. are there any poorly informed hippies condemning recycling? perhaps.
