The Rock and Roll Report is a place to go when you are tired of the same music played over and over on commercial rock radio. Playing great rock and roll from indie and unsigned bands.

Do Downloads Help the Environment?

June 20, 2007 by Mark Boudreau 

So you stopped buying CDs and now you download all your music and listen to it on your tiny iPod. That must lessen your footprint on the Earth would it not? Not neccessarily according to Digital music No Environmental Cure. It seems that, although you are buying less CDs than you once did, you are buying more CD-Rs to burn your downloads on and you are buying, and throwing away a shit-load of MP3 players that are causing massive waste problems. Read the article and do a bit of research. The move to green electronics is growing and both consumers and companies are realizing that this is an issue that has to be dealt with. Where there is a will, there is a way as they say.

Later.

Mark
