For instance, why print a page that just has footer-info on it, such as an email that just went a few lines over? Xerox has one called GreenPrint and there's another called FinePrint.

Some people actually argue that using plastic instead of paper bags at the grocery store is more environmentally friendly. (No flames on that one please, I read it and am repeating it, I don't know if it's actually true or not)
