...small family farms in China...
They do realize China is a communist country, right?
Still, i find it funny that we are talking about pulp trees today.
We haven't cut down old growth trees for paper in decades. Its too expensive. Instead, grow these fast growing pine trees, nicely spaced on property right next to your pulp processing plant.
The only clear cutting that happens now is because of the govern-cement. In how they improperly lease land these days. (here, you can have all the trees on this land for 3 years, and no more)
