There are several reasons to stop circulating Free Today Newspaper, or charge a nominal fee for it (say 30 cents). This free resource generates too much social cost.
1) It is a waste of resources. There are people who read it for 5 mins and dump it. There are people who use them for many other purpose, other than reading. I wonder how much paper, resources are wasted each day, its incredible.
2) Reading papers should be banned on MRT trains during peak hours. Inconsiderate readers take up 2 standing spaces, leaving those near the door that opens with nowhere to stand. Papers should be printed in such a way, it could be folded so it takes up less space to read. But that is not possible since this is not compatible with large ads that support the paper.
agree ?
If you are one of the above, please stop and be considerate.
Just a rant, cannot tahan looking at this every morning.
