The amount of paper a country uses shows how far advanced the country is, some people say. It is difficult to say whether this is true: different people mean different things by the word advanced. But countries like the United States, England and Sweden certainly use more paper than other countries.

The usual problem is how to deal with it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problemhow to collect body heat.
