RE: Of trees, paper and the cradle of sustainable economies
Great article. More companies should seriously consider growing back their resource. The biggest ones that I know of (which really grinds my gears) is Charman Toilet Paper who does not harvest responsibly. It may feel good on the ass, but they're a really shitty company for not regrowing the Canadian trees that they cut down.
Hell, if they did regrow, after a few years they wouldn't have to worry about property beyond what they own. If their demand is steady and usage long term, they can easily plant as much as they use.
Thanks for your feedback! Especially in the tissue sector of the paper industry the demand is not so much the problem as it is actually rising and balancing the losses in Newsprint. It is quite interesting to look at the numbers: https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/paper-and-forest-products/our-insights/pulp-paper-and-packaging-in-the-next-decade-transformational-change
Overall the output of this 'ancient' industry is still rising just at a lower rate than before. Even if no one is using pen, paper and a pigeon anymore :)
