Health is priceless and I it seems much cheaper to put my eyes on paper
than to put them against a light of which nobody knows the long-term
effect.

Print the amount you need when you need.  

One shouldn't read so much that it gets expensive to print.  We should
read less than we can print because today we can print a lot.

(*) Footnote

I've been observing how all my neighbors are keeping on a lot of lights
for the entire night and every day.  One reason (I believe) is to shine
the whole place so that camera can record good images.  But surely none
of that would be viable if the efficiency of current light bulbs were
like they used to be.  Our economies are booming like never before.

But, yeah---lol---, you can accuse me of being wasteful on paper.  But
the fact is that I'm protecting much more valuable things.  And I don't
thinking filming your backyard is really necessary.  On the contrary: so
much light disturbs all animal life---humans in the first place.
