and this guy asks "since printers came along, do we save trees? I thought with the advent of printers, we would save trees, casue I don't believe it is so..."

OMG... what a loser
 
he, and my dimwit teacher proceded to converse for 5 mins about how offices use more paper than regular handwriting----

it' was so non-intellectual it was difficult for me to follow.
 
actually it's a good question. but in my opinion, it isn't printers that saves trees but Desktop Publishing software that saves trees. with my Xerox Phaser Printer and MS Publisher i can put out brochures and business cards as good as ANY of the old printers. professional looking stuff that i can do in small volumes, print 100 business cards if i want, vs having to buy a pack of 500 to 1000 business cards at a time.

very usefull especially if you change address, phone number etc a couple of times.

if i want to publish a document/instructions here and i send it through the "tech writing" group, a one sentance document takes 4 pages

a cover sheet , a table of contents, the page with the sentance and the last page is a feedback form to complain about the document
 
Actually, it does:

More printers > more paper being used > more paper produced > more trees consumed > more trees re-planted.

Most if not all paper plants have like n 8:1 ratio. For every tree they cut, they plant 8 more. (So I've been told.)
