How we count

A tree yields roughly 8,000 sheets of paper. Each issue runs 50 to 60 sheets, so a year of issues uses a small fraction of one tree per subscriber. We plant ten trees per printed issue through established reforestation partners.

We print on recycled or FSC-certified stock, so some of the "trees consumed" figure is bookkeeping fiction. The planted trees are not.
