I wonder what leads to worse pollution. A world where all information is printed and there are are no computers, or a world where no one uses paper and computers, cell phones, Kindles, etc proliferate.
- johanneskanybal 5y agoThose are not the options though since personal electronics aren't going anywhere. It's either computers and papers or a similar amount of computers but at least less paper.
- cj 5y agoI realize that. It's more of a thought experiment.
- arcbyte 5y agoPaper actually reduces pollution because trees are farmed and replanted in managed forests like crops with decades long seasons. The more paper we use, the more trees we plant.
