"Should I contribute to clear-cutting and deforestation because the big [marketing] machine has told me that softness is important?"

This is a supposed quote from a guy in the industry. Yet, any literate fifth grader, using the internet, can find the true source of paper 60 seconds. I wonder why this Post writer didn't check the underlying accuracy of the quote? Do you think he has an agenda?

This took me 120 seconds to find, but I'm not as smart as a fifth grader:

tappi.org

Most trees used for paper come from forests called
managed timberlands. Even though the trees in
these timberlands may look like “woods,” they are
an agricultural crop - like vegetables on a farm. The
trees are grown to be made into products for human
use. Not using paper in order to save trees is like
not eating salad in order to “save” vegetables.

Full Disclosure Alert: I happen to like soft TP.
