why the conflict?

so my new climbing magazine comes, and they tout their recycled paper program as good for the environment. you know, 43% post consumer paper used which reduces energy consumption by blah, blah, blah.....

here is my rub....as I am reading this thing....three loose leaf pieces of paper fall onto the floor..they are all subscription notices for this mag...uh, hello, I already subscibe...and in addition, I count four more of the same promo's glued into the magazine...

what gives people???? do I really need 7 reminders to subscibe, especially from a magazine that is supposedly eco friendly? liberals drive me nuts.

Rock & Ice's larger format actually uses less paper than the old smaller size. There's less waste during the printing process. R&I answered several reader's comments about the new size when it first changed.

Dude, you are such a rabble rouser. Go with the Green.

What you do is take all the cards and save them to heat your home in winter.

I can't recall the specifics but it had to do with being a better fit for the particular presses that the magazine is printed on. As someone who has worked at several different magazine printing plants I know that this could be true. The new size may perfectly fit a newer more efficient press that would reduce the total amount of paper used or it might be some other reason.
