Many years ago, while working in the printing biz, I was a guest of the Nekoosa and Consolidated Paper mills in Nekoosa, Wisconsin. Fascinating process the way fine paper is made. During the visit Nekoosa took us out to one of their tree farms. A most interesting thing to see absolutely identical trees, all about 6 feet apart and towering into the sky. In between were new trees only some 6 or 8 feet tall.

The idiot tree huggers that want to use just one square of toilet paper have no idea of the efficiency of this industry. We are NOT running out of trees.

Driving to Pensacola, we have to drive by a paper mill and believe me, at times it stinks to high heavens. I thought it was suppose to be all cleaned up.
