Paper products represent carbon sequestration. Single use paper products are great in that they are capturing and locking atmospheric carbon.
Trees are renewable resources that can be farmed. I never understood the "save the trees" argument. From what? Most modern lumber harvesting not only cuts down trees, but plants new trees for later harvest. Same way we plant other consumables. Where's the "save the potato!" movement?
Well, the slogan should be something like "Save diverse fauna, flora and funghi which goes through a natural life cycle inside of a vast forest with trees of varying species and ages", but that doesn't fit on a t-shirt :).
Edit: Apparently all living organisms are collectively called "biota", cool.
Fwiw I never heard the "save the trees" only "save the rainforest" (which still makes sense). I grew up with 10k trees per capita though and now it's probably more because farmland is abandoned.
