ke4roh writes "Electronic paper comes a step closer," says a Reuters article today. The paper, made by E-ink bends and makes for a higher contrast display, perhaps for e-books and cell phones.

We dont have to cut down trees for paper right now. Very usefull paper can be made from hemp, rice, corn and other renewable sources.

The reason we dont? Vested Capital and Shortterm thinking by impotent politicians. Capitalists shoot down regulations to keep trees from being cut... because right NOW its cheaper to do it... the future be damned, they're gettin' rich..
