Pulp Friction

Every second, one hectare of the world's rainforest is destroyed. That's

equivalent to two football fields. An area the size of New York City is lost every day.
In a year, that adds up to 31 million hectares -- more than the land area of Poland.
This alarming rate of destruction has serious consequences for the environment;
scientists estimate, for example, that 137 species of plant, insect or animal become
extinct every day due to logging. In British Columbia, where, since 1990, thirteen
rainforest valleys have been clearcut, 142 species of salmon have already become
extinct, and the habitats of grizzly bears, wolves and many other creatures are
threatened. Logging, however, provides jobs, profits, taxes for the govenment and
cheap products of all kinds for consumers, so the government is reluctant to restrict
or control it.

Much of Canada's forestry production goes towards making pulp and paper.
According to the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, Canada supplies 34% of the
world's wood pulp and 49% of its newsprint paper. If these paper products could be
produced in some other way, Canadian forests could be preserved. Recently, a
possible alternative way of producing paper has been suggested by agriculturalists
and environmentalists: a plant called hemp.
