Do you still get the newspaper?  If you are reading this then you have a much more ‘climate-friendly’ option.  Get your news online.  By definition, the ‘news’ is transient and fleeting information.  Why buy it in physical form, at great expense of resource (paper, print, transportation, waste collection or recycling, and all of the energy of these and other related stages in a newspaper’s life) when you can receive your news free of charge in the form of pixels of information.  What you want to save can still be printed, or better yet, saved to storage in ‘printable form’ for later perusal, study, or sending to others.

What’s more, even the best TV stations in the world have their news online. Here are links to many of the world’s best in online news sources.

• The NY Times (New York Times… or New Yawk Times as some like to say)
• The BBC News (British Broadcasting Corporation) (and an article about online news at that!)
• The LA Times (Los Angeles Times)
• The Wall Street Journal (skipping the advertising up front of their normal entry point)
• The London Times
• All you want is stock quotes?  Why buy the paper at all?  Try MarketWatch.

Here are some news sources with an environmental and sustainability edge.

• Grist
• Common Dreams
