I predict a mild digital backlash. Less web, more print. Call me a sentimental and biased print (mostly) designer, but people are very slowly starting to realize that printing—when executed responsibly—is not really much more wasteful (if at all) than screen-based work. The notion that saving trees in favor of websites is always more sustainable is, in fact, incorrect. The truth is that the waste is substantial in both mediums: one being the production of paper, and the other being the usage of electricity. How it all balances out varies from one country to another, but I've heard a few people say that in the U.S. at least, print is often greener.
- people don't read paper because of eco-reasons. people read screen more because it's quick, cheap, easy.janne76
- Screen simply reaches more peopleukit
- who have their screen on already, while they're reading the print stuff. Print wastes screen time, and electricity.mikotondria3
- Print uses a lot less electricity. It's just different impacts.gramme
- but the screens are on ANYWAY, so anything else is a waste of resources..mikotondria3
- Who says the screens are always on? Mine isn't, not when I'm reading away from my desk at any rate.gramme
