The lumber industry is largely responsible for the positive PR on their own sustainability. In fact,
  • Not as much of the lumber we use is harvested from tree farms, as they would have us believe; huge tracts of virgin forest are cleared every day for paper use (and other lumber-based uses); and
  • the process of removing that lumber from the forest, pulping it, turning it into paper and transporting it to the local (or not-so-local) printer is much more environmentally damaging than most people know... and the lumber industry largely ignores or pays lip service to the damage they do.
