Everybody uses paper. Why are we waiting for trees to grow only to cut them down to produce paper? It takes an incredible amount of time for a tree to grow, whereas other plants grow faster, why not use those plants

Using trees is not the problem. Trees grow quickly enough. The real problem is that we use too much paper and other cellulose based products. This leads to deforestation in some parts of the the globe and to monocultures in others.
Some have already commented about monocultures actually being ok for biodiversity if you use native trees. This is a very common misconception that’s being spread eagerly by pulp industry and pulp wood producers. In reality, only the natural cycles of forests with native trees are able to create habitats for every species.
The only real solution is to consume less.
