Our work on Industrial Ecology of Wood Products and Restoring Forests convinced us years ago that wood demand would continue weak for many decades. On 27 December 2005 the Wall Street Journal reported that demand for paper in offices and businesses in North America fell from 14.3 million metrics tons in 1999 to 13 million tons in 2004, more than 1.7% per year, and dropped 4% through the first 10 months of 2005. To experience what might weaken paper demand for a broad range of consumers, visit the Open Library previewing e-books developed by the wonderfully creative Brewster Kahle.
