From Print to Digital: More Trees Getting Saved
The printed dictionary, which has editions that come out fairly regularly, have gone digital. The Oxford University Press which is publishing the third edition of the Oxford Dictionary, is said to be turning to digital copies instead of the printed form for this, since they are aware that there isn’t an enough demand for the printed edition. Students today mostly rely on the internet, laptops, USB files and ipods as well as other gadgets for simple things such as doing their homework. The demand, the University Press says, doesn’t justify the cost for printing anymore.
Some newspapers have also began to get into digital printing of their publication, such as the Jornal do Brasil, which says it will be converting to 100% digital. According to JB, “For every day that a newspaper such as JB is not printed on paper, 72 trees are kept from being cut down. Given the greater or lesser number of sections during the week, in a year’s time more than 30,000 trees are saved.”
