I wonder how much paper you’d have to offset for this to make sense from an eco-friendly standpoint.

Quite a lot, especially if your workplace uses paper with high recycled content.

A new flyer every week telling people not to shit in the coffee maker or whatever employers put up around the office is only 52 sheets of paper/yr - a renewable resource from a fairly heavily optimized supply chain.

I'd wager the environmental ROI is measured in decades or even centuries.

The real obvious play here, as indicated by the concept image on the article, is advertising or dynamic pricing, but I guess people are not interested in reading a marketing article about a new way to be advertised at.

Dynamic pricing needs dynamic ads.

Yeyy, now we can get the same information with a billion times the carbon footprint.

I ignore most teams chats and other signage at work, if it regularly changes I won't even notice.
