Want to help save a tree? Read the news online!

Posted to

As a Realtor^® I need to be informed of local and regional news. However, after receiving renewals for the San Francisco Chronicle and the local ANG daily papers, I noticed the annual fees were double what I had paid the previous year! Now-days, it is chic to work smart and save money along the way. I simply could not justify renewing at the increased rate.

Thank goodness for a wireless network and a laptop. Now, I read the news online. I visit www.nytimes.com then www.sfgate.com then www.comcast.net and www.insidebayarea.com among others.

Once you get used to it, reading the news online is much more fun. I can watch videos and find myself laughing out loud several times each morning. Often TV shows comedy bits are featured. The blog post comments are sometimes more interesting to read than the story itself.

I actually feel better about canceling my subscriptions to the dailys. Now, I don’t throw away so much paper. Think of all the trees we may be saving by reading the news online.

Where do you get your news? How do you stay informed?
