I love magazines. In fact, JB and I often go to the local Barnes and Noble just to spend some quality time browsing the newsstand. I mean, where else would I have been able to find Reminisce Magazine?But before magazines become Car and Driver or Vogue, they are trees. And so we’ve been looking for ways to get a magazine fix without physical magazines. One solution might be Zinio.com, which is building a digital newsstand. They scan whole magazines and put them online, ads and all. (for a fee)I’ve tried it, and it works surprisingly well. Because they scan the whole magazine, its a much more authentic experience than visiting the magazine websites. The scans are extremely high quality, and they have links from the table of contents, so you can jump around. They even have a iPhone version!If you want to check it out, I posted a free link to a free issue of Dwell.
I’m on my own quest to save some plastic and need some ideas.
I have always gotten plastic bags at the grocery store to use as doggy pick-up on my walks. I am trying to go more green in my life and this plastic bag usage is my one last “obstacle”. Does anyone have any green ideas for picking up after my dog that’s both environmentally friendly and reasonably priced?
