You can grow and replace trees a heck of a lot faster than you can replace oil. Were you aware that according to some reports, the number of trees in Europe has actually increased by almost half (i.e. from 100% to 150%) in less than fifty years? The primary reason for that is sustainable forestry, apparently, for furniture and paper manufacture. Not only that, but the manufacture process of paper and cardboard uses considerably less energy than that for plastics. It probably has been doneat least partially, if not primarily, for financial reasons, but it is still a good move IMO. Ian P. (Who has no intention at all of exterminating anyone.

I believe that some types of card have chemicals contained within them that evaporate over time. Some Music CD covers have had this problem, and the CD's have been damaged (corrosion of the metallic substrate in the disc). Excellent idea though.
