Reality: While this may be true, Mills says replanting trees is not the same as preserving natural forests, which is the real issue.
For example, in the U.S. South (where most trees used to make paper originate), the area of natural pine forests decreased by 52 percent from 1953 to 1999. Meanwhile, pine plantations increased 39.3 percent during the same period. Though pine plantations yield ample amounts of wood, they're not well-suited to provide wildlife habitat or preserve biodiversity.
