How is it different than corn and wheat? All industrial farms are monocultures.
- smooth_remmy 6y agoCorn and wheat are essential food items. There is no "digital alternative" to corn and wheat. No one should need to buy a physical book/newspaper in this day and age. These wood pulp tree farms are producing luxury consumption items for the middle and upper class. Working class people don't read physical newspapers
- Nemo_bis 6y ago> Working class people don't read physical newspapers Sounds like something worth fixing. Expanding libraries is one way to do so. Back in the day, the Communist Party of Italy had legions of volunteers engaged in teaching people how to read, distributing the party's newspaper.

- sloum 6y agoYes, and industrial farming is a known major problem that wreaks havoc on the environment and in the case of animal farming at an industrial scale commits horrible atrocities. So yes, you are right... it is not just pulp trees at issue.
