“I am a paperless developer”
I have a teeshirt from MAX 2004 that says that.
We are using more and more paper per person every day but also we are using less and less paper every day. How comes that? Well we are using more and more paper and more and more trees are cut to produce that paper. We are reading more newspapers and magazines, everything we buy is packaged in paper, we even take our groceries back home in paper bags.
On the other hand more and more information is available in electronic format. I read less and less things on paper, most of the information I acquire is coming from the web or emails or different documents.
How big was the impact of web on our forests? I guess nobody ever calculated that. Nobody calculated how many trees were saved because we are using PDF documents to pass around information this days. If I print all the documents stored on my computer I will consume maybe 100kg of paper (and I was shy with this estimate). So in that respect the Internet might be one of the most environment friendly structure/entity on the planet.
P.S. to bad Internet needs electricity to run
