Except that paper comes from unsustainable logging practices in the Amazon, which is an irreplaceable carbon sink that is being destroyed.

Paper mostly comes from massive tree farms that are close to mills and close to market on managed, easy to transit tracts of land close to shipping lanes. Take a look at aerials of the wooded areas surrounding Panama City, FL, miles and miles of rows of tree farms. What’s happening in the Amazon is terrible mismanagement, but it’s not the sole source of paper
