Don't. Pulp wood, the stuff that's used for paper, is farmed. They have huge tree farms (aka "pine plantations") down in the south where they grow slash pine for papermaking. It's a fast growing tree--I think about 10-15 years to harvest.
So, they're not chopping down old-growth wild forest for you to have paper. They're harvesting a field that they planted a few years back.
