Just so... as usual the greenies' approach doesn't bother with facts before making assumptions and pronouncements... reducing paper usage means less need for pulp trees, no need to replace those used and a move to alternate uses which are likely to be a lot less green than trees... guess they can go hug a timber-frame house...
