What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? Apparently, upon reviewing what I wrote to describe my expertise, I should strive to learn to spell and proofread. There is so much about this industry that I don't know. I would really like to learn more about the forestry side of the business and also see the packaging end move to reclaimable fiber methods.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: There are more trees in the northeastern U.S than there were 100 years ago.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject The most serene, spiritual place I have ever been was in an old growth forest preserve in British Columbia, owned by a paper company. There is an undescribable feeling of peace and tranquility that one needs to experience. How to balance man's material needs vs. the love of the forest remains a significant challenge.
