Print pays back
Print not only pays off - it pays back to the environment. It's true. When you use paper, you're making a contribution to the environment by keeping forests growing and responsibly managed.
- Roughly 600 million trees are planted every year by the paper and forest products industry, surpassing the amount harvested.
- Improved forest management, regeneration of forest areas and selective tree harvesting have resulted in a net uptake (sequestration) of carbon from 1990 to 2005. This is because older, unmanaged forests lose their ability to sequester carbon.
- Many climate experts believe that the responsible management of forests offers one of the least expensive and best ways to to fight climate change.
