Newsprint is yucky.
“Newsprint is yucky.”
An excellent case can be made that newspapers are bad for the environment (that should appeal to lefty’s).
1- Millions of trees are grown in monoculture and are cut down every year.
2- Processing of trees into paper uses many toxic and caustic chemical including cancer causing agents that are released into the environment. It also pollutes a huge amount of water.
3- Production and delivery of the product produces a huge amount of green house gasses and air pollution.
4-The product (newspapers) are the ultimate use once and throw away product. It is obsolete after 1 day. It fills our “precious” landfills.
5- Much of the information found in newspapers is incorrect, biased or misleading.
6- The information dispensed in newspapers could be electronically transmitted much cheaper and faster with little or no waste.
