Paper, while an integral part of society and an important material in world commerce, is also a major source of pollution.

By most accounts, paper, despite being the 8th largest industry worldwide, is:

• The #1 user of water
• The #2 contributor of greenhouse gas emissions
• The #3 user of energy

The demand for pulp and paper, primarily by the U.S., is responsible for massive deforestation, loss of animal habitat and the displacement of indigenous peoples.

• 37.5 million acres of rainforest are lost each year
• The U.S. is the destination for nearly 80% of Canada's forest products
