How about this for some clever green technology:
"GreenPrint solves a problem nearly every computer user has experienced -- the wasteful pages that seem only to appear after a document has been printed (for example, pages with just a URL, banner ad, legal jargon, or a run-over Excel column). GreenPrint does this by analyzing the document and then highlighting and removing unnecessary pages. Solving this common problem for home and business users will not only save billions of dollars a year, but will also save tens of millions of trees, millions of tons of greenhouse gasses, and an enormous amount of landfill waste."
