I like the aesthetics of the hardware, but don't like the environmental impact this will make.

In my personal opinion design should strive to solve problems or answer hard to answer questions like 'how can I print without the environmental impact printing has had for quite some time' instead of creating aesthetically pleasing toys.

For this same reason I'm in dubio about 3D printing & fablabs in general. Unless we find a way to re-use materials we're just creating more junk and roadside litter.

Maybe BERG should rethink Little Printer and let it output eatable paper so we can use the freshly printed news as part of our breakfast ;)
