Misleading Claims about Paper Products in Popular Science
CHICAGO—
Myths about the sustainability of the North American paper industry and its products are common media fodder in today’s world of sensationalized, headline-driven journalism. This time it was the turn of Popular Science to weave together a collection of standard anti-paper tropes into your “Modern paper use is wildly unsustainable” article.After all, paper is not only the most recycled material in North America.
