Vancouver, Canada (Vocus/PRWeb) April 17, 2008 -- This year, with so many 'green ideas' vying for the attention of Earth's citizens, it might be hard to figure out which 'save the planet' resolution to adopt. Here's an idea that is eco-friendly and can also assist in assessing the relative merits of the myriad green initiatives: read a digital newspaper instead of a print version. Or, in the case of PressDisplay.com, read any of 600 newspapers from around the world without using any paper. Over the last few years, millions of people have used PressDisplay.com, saving more than 26,000 trees.
