how to reduce and replace paper use:

- document stupid use of printouts for paper, such as e-mail and notice printouts, webpage, and fax printouts.
- develop a plastic marker-eraseable or physically rewritteable (i.e. by making it possible to have words come out in plastic, either on surface or throughout the thickness; and them somehow rewrite this to say something else)
