Newspapers Have Helped Shape The World

Newspapers have helped shape the world for decades, serving as invaluable resources that highlight both national and local news, retail information, cultural events, and much more. Although several newspapers now offer online versions of their publications, many readers remain partial to print versions. Those who purchase printed newspapers daily or subscribe to home delivery should consider recycling the papers to protect the planet. According to the environmental resource EarthEcho International, recycling a single run of the Sunday issue of The New York Times - or a comparable paper’s Sunday editionwould save 75,000 trees.

Fall Foliage Trips

Continued From 13

While

not without a smartphone that can capture amazing high-resolution imagery, serious leaf photographers may want to take out their prized camera equipment for leaf-peeping excursions. Also bring along a map or a GPS-enabled device so you can explore back roads and areas off the beaten

path more readily. There are plenty of apps that can help with foliage-ﬁnding adventures, so a phone is a handy tool. When packing, also bring along hiking boots, comfortable layered clothing and anything for an afternoon in the great outdoors.
