Not to mention how much of Amazon's rainforest have been/are being razed to ground to make way for pulp farming for the dead trees. It's scary and stupid both.

Are you being sarcastic? Amazon rainforest wood is not used for paper, the trees are cut down for farmland, not for the wood.

There are far better sources of wood, but land is more scarce.

Who said anything about using old trees for book pulp? Pulp farming requires arable land which is taken away from rainforests.
