Don't you hate when...
...you print a lot of copies of something, only to find a typo or realize it was the wrong document? I feel really bad, like I'm wasting money.
But then I get some weird sort of satisfaction knowing that I'm recycling what I've wasted- like it's okay that I just blew off 25 descendants of a former tree.

Well, here's some rain for your parade - did you know that recycling a tree's worth of paper is less efficient (in terms of energy use, man-hours of labor, money, etc.) than growing a tree, cutting it down, and turning it into paper. Plus, if you plant a tree, the ecology gets 20 years of oxygen production out of the capitalist tree farmer for free.
If it did rain on your parade, you could seek shelter under a tree, assuming there is no lightning... and that the tree was not cut down by a heartless capitalist... or his typo-prone friend.
To your original point... yeah, I hate that, but have done it plenty. And I've done it with more than a tree's worth of paper, so that may make it more efficient! Especially since we, as a company, wait until we get a forest's worth of paper before we recycle... :-)
