#7: Take A Magazine Stand

Don’t recycle your magazines… keep them in circulation.

That’s right, don’t recycle those magazines… pass them on.

Odds are you have friends who read the same magazines you do. Here are some ways you reduce the resources used to produce, ship and mail magazines:
••• Share a subscription with a friend and then pass them on
••• Donate your magazines to a library, senior center, retirement home
••• Put your magazines in your free box (see #5: Take the Free Way)

Here is how one of those magazine flows works at our house. I get Dwell magazine from my friends Bill & Linda. After I finish them, I pass them on to my friend Terry. After Terry reads them she passes them on to her friend Lynn or donates them to one of the facilities mentioned above.

A single unit purchase: this magazine will go through at least 5 readers.
