Technology V.S. Environment

I was printing out the worked solutions for the questions that were discussed during the A* Math Series Lectures on the topic of Statistics using Double A Quality paper. Halfway through the printing, guilt kicked in as Kia Hui's "lecture" of me being too environmentally-unfriendly to print tutorials on plain paper echoed in my head and I began to weep for the diminishing rainforests.

I figured that the sheets of Double A quality paper I loaded onto the tray was not enough to print out the document, and decided that when the paper runs out I would load papers from my stack of "recycled paper" (they are just papers which were once my worksheets, but now I am using their empty back page).

Unfortunately, the first piece of "recycled paper" that the printer attempted to print on jammed the ink catridge.

So, sophisticated technology forbids recycling efforts?
