Good points. Obviously the best way to go about things is to use as
little as possible. You /do/ have to wonder why huge paper reports need
to be printed these days. Especially when you can buy a 200gb HDD at
bestbuy for $50 after rebates if you catch a good sale.
As far as recycling economics, well... all economics are complex. I
think we need to move to the future will all aspects of reducing energy
usage in mind, from alternative fuels to alternative power sources to
better insulation and more efficient lighting. More efficient
computers, too :). Maybe it wouldn't be unfeasible for everyone to
drive their stuff to a recycle center if cars burned clean fuel.
Obviously to accomplish this time, money and research is needed, but
hey.. more jobs at home, right?
Anyway to keep from going too far this will be my last post on this
subject. What will be my next subject? Rampaging linux-powered
Killbots from the future. No root access for humanity.

This begs the question of precisely why such a report is needed.
Why do you need a printout of all your customer's info?
What do you do with this?
Put it in a vault so you can hand enter it all back in when your
backups turn out to be bad?
One of my first rules of security is you cannot misplace what you do
not have.
If you don't have thousands of pages of sensitive information printed
out, you cannot lose it.
