Where do we stand on pirate electronic copies downloaded from the 
internet? No trees there! (Are we more concerned about trees or 
piracy? no answer needed)
I would have thought as long as the book was printed on a renewable 
paper source that should satisfy everyone. 
If the paper I recycled to print HP came originally from old growth 
forest is that OK? I'm reusing something I shouldn't have used in the 
first place.

he killed a tree or not :-(
