Are spiral notebooks bad for the environment?

Spiral notebooks are somewhat eco-friendly. And, at the same time, not eco-friendly. Typically, when we say no, we consider their effects on trees, a major part of our environment. This is because a considerable number of trees get cut each year to produce those notebooks.

Are notebooks sustainable?
