The Word for World is Forest

[eub]

The title page of Udo Zölzer's Digital Audio Signal Processing has a note:

This book is printed on acid-free paper responsibly manufactured from sustainable forestation, for which at least two trees are planted for each one used for paper production.

Idealistic publishers, they will be the death of us all! That's not sustainable, that's green goo!

Regrettably, we must sacrifice the planet to support the dissemination of text. The world for word is forest!

Very neat. I see a career ahead of me as the straight man in a traveling metathesis show.

No kidding. Let's go visit a tree farm and free the slaves.

You should buy Diamond's latest book (Collapse) which, after it's done talking about the reasons societies do and don't collapse, has a chapter that includes ranting about the unverifiable (and usually false) claims forestry companies make.
