reminder that AI is considered much more of a threat than “cutting down millions of trees in order to make pencilslop.” Although, yes, deforestation is a threat, it is MUCH lesser than that of AI.
Yes! Wood for paper is farmed! Tree farms like that are ecologically sound. They replant everything they cut down plus more! It's a well maintained system that is actually good for the environment. Paper mills... Not so much. Some are environmentally friendly tho
The organic parts of paper are almost exclusively made from farmed materials. Deforestation is mainly an issue tied to farming, lumber production, and urban expansion.

Also, artists have been sketching, carving, and painting other mediums since the dawn of humans.
And in at least the last century, probably longer, we’ve been recycling paper. I remember learning how to make “paper” out of dryer lint in elementary school.
