GREEN Tips from Edward!

While reading about GREENING your life I came across an article that walked about  Mobile Phones and Newspapers.  I think this is interesting, so I am going to pass this along to you.  

Mobile devices can have a positive effect on the environment!  A study conducted by the University of California, Berkeley revealed that receiving your news wirelessly on your PDA instead of having a printed subscription delivered to your mailbox requires up to 140 times less carbon dioxide and the consumption of between 26 to 67 times less water.  This same study reports that if 25 percent of newspaper readers in the US switched to reading their news on a PDA, they'd cut their news reading CO2 emissions by 97 percent and eliminate the need for 14 million print newspapers.
