"iBooks kill how many trees? Zero. That is a big win." This is a misconstrued argument. False, misunderstood nonsense. Here's how its actually done. Paper for books comes from huge forests of Eucalyptus trees grown especially for the purpose of paper making. They grow very fast (and anywhere) and are constantly being replenished because paper is a commodity. There are MORE trees grown now because paper making exists than not. An additional benefit also being that they are great CO2 sinks! Mature, rare trees are never used in paper manufacture. Its easier, cheaper and kinder on the environment to just keep growing Eucalyptus. Now, lets look at recycling. Paper recycling is cleaner as an industry than it used to be but it still is more environmentally damaging than making new paper from scratch. But don't allow facts to get in the way of a good prejudice.
