As in most cities in the Western US, our newsprint supplier cuts no trees for newsprint. Fiber is obtained 40% from recycled newsprint and 60% from industrial waste: wood chips off the sawmill floor.

my pc (and a lot of the it-equipment needed to bring your website to my pc) is powered by energy that is obtained by burning coal. Coal is made of (old)trees did you consider that in your calculation? No offense, i like your site but not for the green image you adorn yourself with but for the not existing price of 2,4€ my fav newspaper normaly costs me per day.
