In this day and age, one wonders why they still print newspapers. How many of us actually read local papers? Maybe some retired people still do. But we can all get news online. In fact, all the publishers should only have an online presence. Do you know that half million trees must be cut down just to produce each week’s Sunday newspapers? What a waste. All news should be delivered online. Even if people recycle their papers, it’s still a waste of energy producing it. If people choose not to recycle their newspapers, then it will end up in the landfill somewhere.
Approximately paper that costs 1 billion trees to produced are thrown away every year in the U.S. Can you see the terrible waste? It means 1 billion trees could have been saved to absorb the carbons in the air. Instead they were cut down and milled into papers.
