I was printing out my syllabi for the classes I am teaching here at Wartburg College this semester, when I noticed a sign taped to the wall above the copier. Under the heading “What Would Yahweh Do?”, it asked whether God would print single– or double–sided documents. It offered the following passage in favor of double–sided printing:
Then Moses turned and went down from the mountain, carrying the two tablets of the covenant in his hands, tablets that were written on both sides, written on the front and on the back. 16The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved upon the tablets. (Exodus 32:15-16)
Of course, it is easy to see why God used double–sided printing. Rocks are much harder to recycle than paper.

I don’t know about your photocopier, but the ones I am familiar with tend to heat up and jam if you use double-sided for more than a small amount. If on the other hand, I was YHWH, I wouldn’t have that problem, I suppose.
