U.S. Paper Industry Working to Preserve Our Forests

The U.S. paper industry is working to clean up environmental excesses of the past and is planting new trees to replace the ones harvested for paper products.

According to Domtar Paper, thare are more U.S. trees today than 70 years ago. The paper industry's forest lands are no longer shrinking. Of the 873 million acres that supply commercial paper products (that's five times the area of Texas), only 2% are harvested each year. Great news when you consider that one tree produces 260 pounds of oxygen each year-enough to support two people.

Domestic printing papers are a smart green buy because they conform to stricter environmental standards in the U.S. and support sustainability of our forests.
