Canceling your home newspaper delivery is a super fast green step you can take. It only takes a minute, but you’ll save an important resource – trees. Over 35% of the trees used each year, are being used to produce newspapers.
Instead sign up for the online addition of your favorite newspapers. Most are now offered online or can be sent straight to your pda, or other electronic device. AND in case you’re worrying, “What about energy costs and resources” – don’t. All that paper is far more destructive than the energy you’ll use reading online.
According to Internet: Death of the Newspaper?, “The U.S. Toxic Release Inventory report released by the EPA states that pulp and paper mills are among the worst polluters to air, water and land of any industry in the country.”
A greener choice is to go digital with your morning read.
