I don’t think all the hipsters in the world could consume that much specialty paper in a year, so it’s unlikely to be an issue.
- kragen 3y agopresupposing a global hipster population of 100 million and paper consumption per hipster of one bullet journal per month, weighing perhaps 500 grams, we get 600 thousand tonnes per year of paper consumption, roughly four thousand times the amount the article tells us is being used to print banknotes. this seems like it could employ several hundred thousand people, but probably not nearly enough to run out of land suitable for growing argeli
