Every week we'll post another easy tip to help you be environmentally friendly.
Eco-Tip 35
Follow magazines and newspapers on the internet rather than with a paper subscription. A big crisis of the newspaper and magazine industry is the increasing proliferation of publications on the internet, and it may be for the greater good: reading articles on the internet, obviously, creates no paper waste. (Yes, it does naturally create waste through energy used, but it is comparable to the energy wasted in delivering the paper or magazine). You may feel guilty about not giving any money to the publication that you so enjoy, but many offer online subscriptions that have more benefits (the New York Times, for example, has an online subscription option that lets you view older articles rather than just recent ones -- that'd be pretty tough with a stack of newspapers!)
