    Another thought, if the trees are being grown and harvested sustainably, that’s potentially one of the few economical methods of carbon capture. Make long lasting items with wood to trap carbon for a long time.

    At least trees are renewable resources. I think most pulp woods are from tree farms rather than old growth forests.

    Are new trees actually cut down for paper? Seems much more practical to use sawdust from sawmills. Is there more paper demand than the amount of dust you’d get from making lumber?
