Paper is an agricultural product. The trees (Actually more like scrubby bushes if it is for newsprint) for wood pulp are farmed.
Just as Kellog's frosted flakes aren't going to cause the world to run out of corn because we greedily cut down all the corn stalks, printing paper books isn't going to cause the end of trees.
