I think no matter which way you dice it, sending 1 email is a lot more
energy efficient than printing 1 book. Just because the tree itself is
renewable, the *energy* used in cutting it down, turning it into paper,
turning the paper into a book and all the transporting in between, is
most likely not renewable.
