This kind of "feel" good pseudo science creates more harm than good. While we agree that reducing our carbon footprint is clearly the right thing to do, we must get the science right!

I just used the calculator and got a much less skewed result.

New Leaf Paper's, for example, is actually an environmental audit, with numbers authenticated by The Environmental Defense Fund. There was exhaustive research done, with backing by solid research. It would be interesting to compare the results of different calculators side by side and see the extent to which the numbers line up. Some of the calculators do.

Environmental calculators don't even come close to being credible tools for establishing environmental footprints of anykind as they relate to paper.
