I don't know about everyone else, but nearly every set of chopsticks I have ever seen were made from bamboo. Bamboo is not technically wood, it is a type of grass. Bamboo is a sustainable product and has many great uses. So, my point is that IF most chopsticks are made from bamboo then we don't really need to worry about the deforestation issue.
