I have many of my old notebooks that I wrote in as a child. The amount of paper and ink I used was a lot. Multiply that times all the children and you see how much paper is used vs. typing on a computer.

Sometimes the technology route is better, now what we need to do is make it more sustainable.

There's a lot more resources that go into 1g of computing devices than 1g of paper and writing utensils. Several orders of magnitude more.

Better to mine some cobalt than to cut down some trees eh. (This time I'm being sarcastic.)
