Green trees are not used for fire wood or for paper. Burning green wood makes for terrible fire wood it also causes issues with chimneys due to having more Creosote.

It is illegal In The logging Industry to use merchantable wood for paper or fire wood. Wood has grades and graded wood is worth a lot more than fire or paper wood. Paper wood also has a grade but it is a low grade. Often firewood can be shipped to paper mills as an example.
