What trees are we saving??? Trees for pulp, to make paper, are planted specifically for that purpose... chop 'em down and plant again (usually more as paper use still increasing) but reducing paper use means less trees planted as there will be no point in planting for unwanted paper production. The endangered trees are NOT used for paper, nobody uses tropical rain forest hardwoods for paper production...
