Wow… the right wing anti environment trolls are out in force. Virgin pulp used for toilet paper COMES FROM RAINFOREST in many cases, research APP Indonesia and China, Woolworths had to pull the toilet paper because the links were conclusively proven. Water is often used more responsibly by the recycling companies too. For example, Encore Tissue in Australia use the Kadant Petax Fine Filtration System to reuse wastewater. huge difference between Chinese pulp plants I've been to and encore.
trees use in papers comes from tree plantation intended for paper mills..recyling papers contribute more pollution and cancer from recycling chimicals..deforestation in asia and south america does no link to paper mills but it is use as high quality lumber for furniture and housing materials in industrialize country.. trees use in paper is a softwoods that has no value for housing and furniture because it is not hardwood.
However Recycling paper DOES use less energy than virgin papermaking, unfortunately this energy is FOSSIL FUEL DERIVED; whereas modern paper mills use the parts of the tree that cannot be used to make paper to create carbon neutral energy and many mills are self sufficient in this clean power (some even sell their excess energy to their national grid)
Recycling paper to save trees is like not eating bread to save wheat!

WHAT A LOAD OF UNEDUCATED NONSENSE :-(
Recyclng paper does not save trees, all trees felled to make paper come from carefully managed renewable forests.
In the US there are 20% more trees than 30 years ago because of this.
In the UK our forestry has more than doubled since the second world war.
Trees are an organic renewable, sustainable resource.
Recycling paper reduces the amount of trees planted and causes a great deal of pollution in de-inking and transportation.
