Great! I have posted in the past that the entire newspaper industry is an environmental/energy destroying dinosaur! If you follow the harvest of trees, shipping it to pulp mills, shipping the newsprint to the papers printing site. The energy use to harvest the trees to paper and to get it to the printing site is tremendous.
However, the high energy consumption does not stop there. Vast amounts of energy are used to print the daily fish wrap and then to get the daily fish wraps to those who deliver the newspapers to our front doors or the news racks. By the time the newspaper lands at your frontdoor, the left wing propaganda/news is late from 12 to 48 hours after it happened.
After delivery to your home, you then read your out of date environmentally bad and energy destroying fishwrap. Then, you throw it into your recycle bin. Once a week you place your old and worthless fish wraps at the curb for recycling another left wing energy waster. The truck picking up the old and out of date energy wasting fish wraps use a lot of energy. The trucks take the old fish wraps to their recycling center.
Then, the recycled fish wraps continue to waste energy. They are then baled, stored and eventually loaded on trucks or railroad cars to go the news print recycle center. The newsprint recycle center uses a lot of energy to turn the old fish wraps into recycled news print or other paper types. Then, these recycled paper products go to be used again.
The energy consumed publishing a daily fishwrap is tree- (not misspelled) mendous. Many cities and states have to use our taxes to supplement the extra costs of recycling our old and worthless fish wraps.
gogov, as you point out, "If we get out news from Free Republic, we save trees, spotted owls and other critters. Then, we have huge energy savings avoiding the high energy recycling sham.
If the 60,000+ Freepers cancelled their subscriptions to their daily fish wrap and sent half of that money to Free Republic each month, our planet would be healthier and happier! Free Republic is an environmental friend and saves energy! The critters will thank you!
