Yes, I think having a tangible task is really important!

Since I’m in Europe, we don’t really have paper with bisphenol anymore, but that’s not the case everywhere.

What about the ink? What's the keyword to search for nom toxic printer ink/cartridge

    Receipt printers don't use ink, instead they use thermal paper which darkens when heated. You can test this by scratching it with your nail, the heat is enough to leave a mark

      I agree with you on the first part, but are you sure that the heat from the fingernail is what's leaving that mark? I can take a cold object and run it on the receipt paper to get the same effect, so I think that's a different mechanism at play but I'm open to being proven wrong.
