A Startup Making Paper Out of Stone, Not Trees
 Just a note: paper is either made of dead standing trees or wood that is so full of rot/defect that no lumber can be made from it.  It is a common misconception that live green trees and whole forests are destroyed for paper.<p>- a former woodsman for 13 years<p>Edit: My experience is in western Canada. I forgot that hackernews is a global site. Some countries do grow pine specifically for paper.
