Silent Running (1972)

Corrected entry: The premise of the story is that plant life has been rendered extinct on Earth, with the only remaining foliage being sustained in a few space-borne conservatories. Wood products would then be rarities. Yet, the user manuals for the spaceship's systems are all printed on paper.

Correction: We have no evidence it was paper. It could be a thin plastic or rice based. Alternativly it could be recycled from waste that could only suitabley be used for making manual-quality paper.
