Saving the Planet One Tree at a Time
Today's step to save the planet is a pretty easy one - #38, Recycle Your Newspapers. This is actually required by New York City Law, so it's a no-brainer.
The VF pullout informs me that "Recycling just the Sunday papers would save more than a half a million trees every week."
Due to some very rainy weather (and a very lazy me) over the last few weeks it's been a while since I bundled up my newspapers. Considering the only newspaper we read is the Sunday NY Times, I was shocked when I was done tying up the paper's for tonight's recycling.
We waste a lot of money on newspapers we don't read.
It's too bad the Times isn't like cable TV, where I could pick and choose the sections I'd wanted. Hell, I could reduce the size of the Sunday Times to FIVE sections - The City, Style, the Magazine, Week in Review and the first section.
Think of how many trees we could save that way!
