Believe it or not! A French advertisement makes the following declaration:

Don't believe everything you hear
The truth is
Paper isn't destroying forests
In France, the fibers for manufacturing paper and cardboard come from:

recycled paper and cardboard (60 percent).
forest management, silviculture and woodchips from sawmills (40 percent).

France recycles more paper and cardboard than any other product, and French forests are growing by 50,000 hectares a year.
