An article in the metrotravel section in Metro today wibbles on about
how it'll save lots of stuff from going to landfill but surely the

I doubt it though. The cardboard has to be moved around in trucks,
and then again when it's disposed of. The printing machinery must use
a lot of electricity. The card, ink etc all has to be manufactured.
As long as the screens don't have to be replaced very often, I would
have guessed that there was a saving.
