sustainable design

Here's a concrete problem that bugs the hell out of me:
- You print out an email and the second sheet of paper contains only a

wanted?)
- You print out a web page and the last sheet contains mostly footers and
ads

Usability Professionals Association, and New York's Mobile Monday. The
video presentation is now available for purchase.
