A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Do you find the news reporting in the free papers unfulfilling? Does it make you want to know more background, more facts, and have some more intelligence applied to it? It's the macdonalds of the media and isn't doing my brain any good.
In addition free newspapers across the world require 11,500 new trees to be felled EVERY DAY. That's AFTER taking into account the (self reported) 70% recycled materials figure (so they use the equivalent of some 38,000 trees each day).
So bad for the brain, bad for the planet.
I've taken to listening to audiobooks on my ipod instead. You can listen to a story, or a book like 'Nudge' or something, during ALL of your commute, not just the bit you're on the tube or bus for.
- make my voice heard and help young people’s views to get noticed. When I have an opinion on a news story, I will voice it in the media by commenting online, writing to editors of papers or magazines, or calling in to TV or radio programmes. It’s our news too.
- set up a standing order of at least £5 a month to help the Open Knowledge Foundation keep developing and promoting open knowledge
- contribute my £12.99 Setanta DD to EUFC
- raise £100 by 1st September to help elect Caroline Lucas as the first Green MP
- pledge to pay £1 or £2 per goal that Michael Gash scores this season and I will make a £9 donation now to the playing budget at https://secure.myfootballclub.co.uk/donation
