The world's first photocopier that can print documents directly linked to air quality data(API). Can there be office equipment or mechanism that visualizes the consequences of our actions and allows us to see the harm we do to the environment?

Life Hacking drives me to reflect on the environment we build, and I keep asking myself what more I could do in this concrete jungle. Inspired by Near Future Laboratory, I chose to hack our electrics, using an unreal artifact to open discussion in the real world.
