Paper products are made with pulp wood and has nothing to do with ancient forests. The liberal twits were sold a bill of goods by Greenpeace.

Pulp wood comes from trees usually less than 30 years old.

Any older/larger trees used are scraps from making lumber.

I know a family that owns a sawmill and they laugh at the idea that people cut down trees just to make paper. They said there's way too much money in lumber to waste perfectly good trees on paper making; that's what the scraps are for.
