AlbakiReads Editorial

A source-conscious look at Canadian forestry claims

John Mullinder examines a cluster of environmental claims surrounding forests, paper, and Canadian deforestation. The book challenges assertions about tree loss, the role of the forestry industry, “ancient” forests, paperless practices, e-books, and the future of paper, presenting its arguments through a fact-focused account. Its scope extends beyond a single claim to the language and assumptions that can shape public discussion of green issues and greenwashing. Detailed appendices and endnotes provide supporting context and point toward further research, making the volume as much a prompt for checking environmental claims as an introduction to the debate.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Canadian forests and forestry debates
  • People examining environmental messaging and greenwashing
  • Readers who value endnotes and appendices for further research

Book overview

This easy to read and fact-filled account debunks two commonly-held myths: that Canada is running out of trees and that massive deforestation is taking place in our own backyard. In fact, Canada has one of the lowest deforestation rates in the world and surprise, surprise, the forestry industry is not the major cause.

Large-scale deforestation is not the only 'fake' news in circulation. There's a veritable minefield of green claims and greenwash to navigate: claims about 'ancient' forests; about 'saving' trees by going paperless; about e-books being better than tree-books; about the paper industry being on the way out. And here's another surprise: cardboard doesn't exist!

The detailed Appendices and Endnotes back up the text, offering the reader both context and the opportunity for further research.
