Let’s dive deeper ⬇️

The average paid print Sunday circulation of the New York Times was 745,000 copies in 2022. In 2012, it was 2,138,500. So let’s conservatively call it 1 million per Sunday on average. That’s 52 MILLION papers per year on Sunday alone!

In 2022, the average weekday print circulation of NYT was approximately 310,000 copies, less than half the figure recorded in 2014. But to be nice, let’s say 400,000 papers per “week day” (Monday-Saturday). That’s 2.4 MILLION papers per week

https://www.statista.com/statistics/192815/average-paid-sunday-circulation-of-the-new-york-times-since-2007/

Combining weekday and Sunday papers, conservatively, that’s 3.4 MILLION newspapers per week, or 176.8 MILLION newspapers per year.

But how many TREES are MURDERED because of the reckless printing of the NYT?

BUT IT GETS EVEN WORSE!

@nytimes was founded in 1852; that’s 171 YEARS.

That means they’ve MURDERED OVER 10 BILLION TREES and created over 484 BILLION POUNDS OF CO2

This wastepaper practice must not be allowed to continue.

Let’s find out ⬇️

A pine tree that measures 45 feet long & 8-inch diameter produces 10,000 sheets of paper. But the average sheet of paper is 8.5” x 11” & each @nytimes wastepaper is 12" x 22" when unfolded.

So, conservatively, let’s say each NYT wastepaper page is 2 pieces of normal paper ⬇️

On Sept. 14, 1987, the @nytimes wastepaper weighed 12 pounds & had 1,612 pages.

That means just over 3 newspapers killed one tree.

Extrapolating to the present day, the NYT kills 59 MILLION trees per year!

This is UNACCEPTABLE.

But it gets worse… NYT has long invested in paper companies. It is the minority OWNER — through a company called Donohue Malbaie — of papermaking machinery at the Resolute Forest Company plant in Clermont, Quebec, which produced 218,000 metric tons of newsprint in 2015

So just how much CO2 is NYT pumping into the atmosphere each year?

According to the Arbor Day Foundation, in one year a mature tree absorbs more than 48 pounds of CO2.

Since NYT murders 59 MILLION trees per year, that means they create 2.832 BILLION POUNDS OF C02 ANNUALLY

BUT IT GETS EVEN WORSE!

NYT was founded in 1852; that’s 171 YEARS.

That means they’ve MURDERED OVER 10 BILLION TREES and created over 484 BILLION POUNDS OF CO2

This wastepaper practice must not be allowed to continue.

Here’s the scary part: this 484 BILLION pounds of CO2 is only their direct environmental cost based on tree murders — it doesn’t account for all the wasted fuel during wastepaper transport, electricity wasted by facilities, and hot air blown by NYT writers (more CO2).

In conclusion, NYT murders MILLIONS of trees per year pumping BILLIONS of pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere to print their shitrag wastepaper full of propaganda yet they have the gall to call #Bitcoin  wasteful.

Give me a freaking break.
