Really?Both can be recycled but do they? Paper means cutting trees.
Electronic logbooks don't cause increased use of batteries, they use an insignificant of what is already here. Stop the exaggeration and justification for backwards mentality. You don't like and can't handle technology, why come here? Aren't you using electricity and batteries using SB and the internet? You can use smoke signals, drumbeats and whistling to stay in touch with your cavemen friends and not cause environmental disasters by getting online and wasting batteries as you claim.
I can sell paper back for recycle anytime. certain plastic bottle is also recyclable. But most electronic gadgets CAN'T. It is a fact but ignored by idiot, out of sight out of mind.
Can't handle technology? How difficult it is to down load to a computer, even school kid can do that. You have exaggerated your own ability.
