You usually don't cut down all the trees in your forest all at once to make paper. At least this is not how it's done in Europe and it is illegal to do that. Trees are selected in the forest either for paper or for lumber. Young trees are usually used for paper and to make space for older trees to keep growing until they can be use for lumber, planks and such.
Canada likes to play a little looser with the rules. I've seen how they re-forest by just planting millions of black spruce
Hmmm... I'm by no mean an expert on the matter, but I see how this would have a big negative environmental impact.
That’s very enlightened but no they plant and harvest whole forests for paper.
That raises the question: it is better to do sustainable foresting or hemp farming ?
No doubt that chopping down entire forest is terrible and for sure it's being done, Amazonian rain-forest comes to mind. I hope this stops.
Another interesting fact I've learned from my short time working in the paper industry: biggest growing demands are for 1. Toilet paper, 2. Packaging, while demand for printing paper is steadily decreasing.
