Sorry to quote myself I felt there was more to add.
If
dead trees were to be taken away, 60% of our north american type dwellings would disappear. A house with no backbone wouldn't be comfortable would it?
What we need are sustainable harvest practices, substitutes for wood with other short lived vegetals, non toxic industrial processes for the manufacture of paper, non toxic inks and more ways of recycling.
If we are to promote the ebook it is not by the negative process of antagonizing the proponents for paper books but by the positive action of displaying the virtues and advantages of the ebook. Derogatory comments should be restrained, even amongst ourselves.
