\"I<\/a>Friends,<\/p>\n

This is a cute story<\/a> about some environmentalists:<\/p>\n

\n

A Canadian magazine will be making history Thursday \u2014 Canadian Geographic is publishing its annual environment issue on paper made from wheat, a first for a North American magazine.<\/p>\n

The issue is being printed on sheets made with wheat straw \u2014 what’s left of wheat after the grain harvest.<\/p>\n

The magazine says adding agricultural waste to pulp from trees could offer farmers a new source of revenue and cut the demand for pulp from the continent’s boreal forests.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds great! Use the waste from food production. Besides, one of Canada’s largest crops is wheat. What a perfect use of a domestic resource…<\/p>\n

\n

The wheat-straw pulp used in the making of the issue was imported from China<\/b>, where papermakers have been using wheat and rice for centuries.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Importing wheat straw! That’s rich! Next you’ll tell me that a Canadian team won’t contest the Stanley Cup<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n

Oh, sorry.<\/p>\n
