Proposed sustainable way to design a project: Steering away from paper all together when designing would help decrease the amount of wasted paper by others, and even encourage them to use other surfaces other than paper, when printing graphics and such. There is an acrylic medium, which can be used to transfer images unto surfaces such as a canvas, or wood. A designer can use this process to paste his designs unto such surfaces and therefore save paper. Although it would take some more time and dedication, the results would be jolly and green.
