Help Save the Planet with Google Reader

10 years ago it was common to see a train car or bus full of opened newspapers. Today my commute is predominantly shared with fellow commuters intently staring at their cell phones. Some are reading email, some are visiting websites, but the truly informed are using an RSS reader like the free Google Reader. Google Reader allows me to subscribe to dozens of news sources, aggregates all the articles into a single stream that let's me scan through the titles and teasers until I find the article I'm interesting in reading.

The best part is that I don't have to carry a newspaper around, have to maneuver reading it on the commute, have stacks of papers waiting to be recycled and am not limited to a single news source.

In addition I can save articles to my Google account for future reference and even share them out to friends or to me Facebook profile.

So if you are looking for a change that will save you a little money, lower your carbon footprint, keep you informed and prevent piles of papers in your garage or office; check out Google Reader.

  • Using free and open source software applications is a great way to organize your home office/small office as well as save money on expenses. DealDogs.net has an interesting article entitled "FreeOffice: 10 Great Free Apps For Instant Office Productivity" that reviews ten no-cost applications that work great. This is the article link here which provides descriptions, links and videos about each application, from a word processing office suite to free faxing.
