"While many futurists predicted that we'd be enjoying the paperless office around this time [2004], Americans are still at the epicenter of a paper blizzard. Were you under the impression that the electronic age would free us from all that? According to The Myth of the Paperless Office, a company's use of e-mail causes an average 40 percent increase in paper consumption. The demand for ream after ream of white paper is putting a huge strain not only on America's forests, but the world's. And it's forcing the environmental movement to consider the alternatives." (E MAGAZINE) The author argues that "we should be recycling more and developing alternatives to wood-based paper."
