if people think that paper/ tree-killing is significant enough, why not add a "do you want a printed agenda" checkbox to the registration form for f2f meeting attendance? Preparing packets individually based on whether that was checked would probably be too much trouble, but a rough count would at least provide the secretariat with guidance about how many paper copies should be printed,
That does seem both simple and practical. Small effort to put in place, easy to use, possibly some benefit.
Of course, if someone is seriously concerned about environmental issues, they should compare the costs of that sheet of paper versus the costs of traveling to the meeting.
