Did you know that 70% of Toxic Waste in US Landfills comes from e-waste. Only 2% of the worlds discarded computers found their way to a second user. 57% of all paper consumed was recovered for recycling. Server Farms / Data Centers have a 24% annual growth rate of energy consumption. How do you like them apples? The paper industry has reduced their energy consumption by over 42% in the last 25 years of which 56% of the energy consumed comes from renewable bio-energy sources. I would think twice about going paperless.
