Just as you say,
It's just so completely arbitrarily relative to specifics. What kind of trees? Where? How many? For how long? When?
Contrary to one of your articles, here in the Pacific Northwest US, much of the wood for paper pulp is grown for that purpose. Sustainable yield forestry I think they call it.
I happened to catch a time filling bit on TV yesterday or so done by Penn and Teller about paper recycling. Woven into the comedy was a preponderance of evidence that recycling paper wastes more energy than it saves.
Who ya gonna call?
