Hast thou considered a roaring good hunt to chase away the depressive tone? You need not find a beast to be merry with those close.

Lying about wrapping paper waste is pretty mild compared to the shit the US networks get away with.

I'd guess they had the stats for all of North America (or possibly even the world) and just misquoted them, but that's still a pretty significant screw-up. Silly CBC. The overall sentiment is pretty reasonable, but providing such ridiculously wrong numbers is just going to keep people from taking it seriously.

The assumption may be that a year's purchasing is equal to a year's consumption if averaged out over a long enough period and enough different people, which isn't a bad idea, but in practice people hoard enough unused paper for many years that the time frame for that data may be too short.
