A New Way to Think Green

From an early September online article... Xerox has apparently developed a type of paper that when printed on a special printer, can print documents that "erase themselves after a day so that the paper can be reused.Xerox says that 25 percent of all documents get recycled the same day they are printed, and that 44.5 percent are intended only for a single viewing." This could vastly reduce paper waste and also save energy... and even serve as an alternative to shredding. Very cool.

Details:
"The new paper is coated with a chemical that turns dark upon exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation... While the "ink" will eventually fade on its own, after 16 to 24 hours, the printer can also be used to erase a page and print something new. Tests by Xerox found that if it was not torn or crumpled, a single piece of paper could be put through the print-and-erase cycle hundreds of times."
