"Tree Farm". That's a good one.
Do you truly believe that, say over the next 50 years, we will use less
paper than "Tree Farms" production? do you believe that natural resources

so we'll have one less reason to bother thinking about time.
I guess we should continue this topic off-list, unfortunately.
