What is the carbon crater of the newspaper industry ?

Posted on 09/26/2009 2:36:27 PM PDT by Halfmanhalfamazing

I heard reference to the carbon footprint of the meat industry on something...... I can't remember what. But it got me to thinking, the complicit progressive media even uses carbon footprint as a weapon against industries that they don't like.

How about the press and the TV propagandists investigate their own hot air and see how much it damages the earth?


TOPICS: Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS: carbonfootprint; dyingdinosaurs; liberalmedia; newspapers; pravda
Upon quick googling, (oh the ironies) newsweak has articles about both the greening of the mean industry and the greening of big oil.

For once the media needs to grow a set of consistency.

The newspaper industry probably exceeds the meat industry in on respect...

Seems like I’ve read that paper production is considered pretty hard on the environment. chemicals involved, not to mention the trees used up, and the landfills filled up.

All printers emit VOCs in the form of solvent in the ink.

Many of the larger newspapers incinerate their exhausts to conform to regs.
