As well, how about the e-waste? It doesn't biodegrade and it is very rare that it'll be recycled or discarded properly. I think each side (paper or electronic) has it's pros and cons. We should consider both sides of the story before condeming paper just because paper's an easy target or the thought of inconveniences without electronics leads us to be more ignorant of the cons.
