"In just 10 years, the number of chip mills in the region has more than tripled--to at least 150--each devouring an average of 10,000 acres of forest a year," says Danna Smith, executive director of the Dogwood allenindustrialdrillpresspowerfeed Alliance, a consortium of environmental groups opposing chip mill operations. And with each American using up 688 pounds of paper a year (the Chinese consume just three), chip mills are not only profiting, they''re expanding.
