Deforestation Forum God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools. - John Muir

Default Chopping down trees to make books is good for environment??

The editorial staff of the UK's Bookseller magazine want you to know that lining your exterior walls with books is practically a moral imperative, since it reduces your energy costs and saves the world. You don't have to tell me -- I've been lining my walls with books for decades.

Chopping down trees to make books is good for the environment, provided you then line your walls with bookcases - Boing Boing

"If all the books were removed from the homes in Britain, our energy bills would rocket."

Hmmm... sounds like a bit of an exaggeration. It wouldn't make any difference in my home, for instance. We don't have all that many books and they tend not to be on outside walls.
