A new report suggests many paper towel brands Canadians use are cut from the boreal forest.

Yep. Dumb, sensational article. Managed northern forests are where you want your wood to come from.

This group gives better scores to bamboo products that have to be shipped around the world with fossil fuels, wiping out most of the carbon-negativity that comes from harvesting woody plants. Once again, the forest is missed for the trees in the environmental movement, so to speak.

Yeah, we could get a perfect score if we destroyed all the coastal rainforests and replaced them with bamboo plantations.
