Pursuing the paper trail from forest to landfill, it uncovers the origins, multiple uses, and disposal of this everyday product and gives a fascinating new perspective on the paper industry’s dirtiest secrets, from environmental devastation to human rights abuses. The truth about the paper that is used every day is given as are the simple, practical steps to can take to minimize a person’s own paper trail.
