But that also means it is equipped to absorb all sorts of moisture, including moisture and the resulting odors found in shoes, in vegetable drawers, and elsewhere,â? says Chris Morrissey, vice president of marketing for Sun Chemical, in Northlake, Illinois, the worldâ??s largest printing-ink manufacturer.

Uh, sorta funny.
Although seriously, how about we stop printing them (or at least cut down). I work/hang in NYC and I’m getting really tired of seeing the print media (Daily News and New York Post = biggest culprits) hand out their papers for free to everyone. Give it up and get with the times. I get annoyed when I see a giant mountain of newspapers being handed out.
1. Both those papers suck big time. The Post for those retarded and offensive headlines their editors seem to let through (do you remember the one from Rosa Park’s funeral?). And, the News for their inaccurate coverage of the CUNY remediation controversy.
2. They end up in the garbage, on the subway train floor, on the sidewalk, etc.
