Möbius Printing Helper

I can’t fathom the cumulative carbon savings from a helper tool which universally prints double sided correctly.

Billions of misprinted sheets must have been discarded over the years. Even more if you add the single sided prints because two sided printing was too complicated on a consumer device.

the current default printing order seems correct to me if you turn it into a booklet, if you are reading it as a bunch of unbound paper then this way seems more efficient.

Paper is pretty close to a carbon sink, so the more CO2 you sequester.

How much CO2 is sequestered in a sheet of paper, vs how much CO2 is needed to turn trees into paper?

I don't know but I'm pretty sure my first Google result for that conflates source and sink: https://www.standardcarbon.com/2008/06/do-you-really-need-to...

The problem is that most paper that goes to general trash ends up being burnt or degraded by fungi in a landfill, releasing carbon back to the atmosphere.
