Chieftain, My Chieftain IX
The Pueblo Chieftain’s Contributions to Global Warming.
Not that I’m adamantly decrying human contributions to global warming. Personally, I think it’s more a function of some obscure cycle of the Sun than anything else. BUT, Ann Althouse has an interesting idea that I would REALLY like to see the Chieftain take to heart.
I keep reading about how hybrid cars and compact fluorescent lightbulbs can reduce the production of greenhouse gases, but I have yet to see an article about the savings that could be achieved if we were to stop delivery of newspapers and magazines and do all of our news reading on line.
I’ll wager dollars to donuts that if the Chieftain were to charge people the same price for a fully functional and fully searchable [Note: That means articles dating back more than 30 days, Steve] on-line version of the paper, dropping home delivery of the hard-copy version, they’d (1) save scads of trees, (2) no longer pollute the environment with processing trees into newsprint and (3) improve their bottom line in a dramatic manner.
So…what do you say Steve?
Got anyone doing a feasibility study/business plan on this idea?
