you have a fireplace? (everyone in CO has one, right?) make paper mache logs from the
wasted paper (smush 'em down good and hard). The kids'll have a ball and once they've
dried out they'll burn a long time. Hopefully you use organically whitened recycled paper
and soy ink to avoid any dioxins/heavy metals poisoning the family/neigbourhood/city
(ehem...that _can_ be a downside :o\
