Utilization of forest.
The article I read was about the "process" not anyones thoughts on should it happen.
No one could convince me that process wasn't violated, whether reasoned or not.
As to global warming, whether processed here or overseas the climate will suffer anyway?
So we talk of the enviroment in terms of those with factional interest, not very informative.
Hardwood from my understanding is about newspaper pulp? Only people with insufficient skills or time need them, and s good example of that need can be read here.

When I was with IBM many years ago they had a promise of a paperless world, the profecy is coming true although not yet complete, ie the internet.
As for the Japanese need of wrappings, let them grow their own "paper".
Tourism if only indulged by Australians, Tassy has the opportunity
to grow much more economically than cutting trees down.
There are a lot of Australians who have never seen forest, some because the need for paper had its way.
I have walked and ridden horses thru plantations, don't go there for any need of edu in nature.
