I really am an environmentalist...
« on: 17 September 2009, 12:50:41 »

...and to prove it, let me say that this is the most appalling waste of resources I have ever seen. Screens and batteries with a shelf-life of just days.

Sheer waste.  >:( >:(

What you are forgetting is it is up to the general public to cut back on fuel usage and to make sure we put everything in the correct recycling bin.

But if a big business wants to do something, then it can. Otherwise we are stifling there business. It is not big business who should be concerend about such things, they need to sell as much of the product as possible, and enviromental impacts are irrelevent to them.  >:(

Think along the lines of householders need to cutback there emissions so business can have the third runway, fair or what  :o

Why don't they just publish it on-line and save wasting paper too?

Most "Entertainment magazines" are such drivel they're only good for wiping your @rse on anyway. ;D

very gimmicky and i thought they were using that smart paper technology, not thick sheets of cardboard with a screen wedged into the cutout - disappointing - but i agree nickbat - a laughable use of resources  :o
