I all I can say is, no sh!t Sherlock (them not you Geoff).
The chemicals used to bleach the inks out of newsprint is evil, in the last few years they have gotten better, but it is in my mind still better on the environment to use recycled papers only in areas where they don't need to bleach out the inks.
You would be surprised to know that a lot of products that say "Printed on Recycled paper" is BS, they print that on new pulp paper all the time, in fact they make a line of "New" paper that they colour grey, so it looks like recycled paper.
Isn't ecological product marketing fun?
