    What about the enormous waste from unsold magazines? How many trees, how much publishers’ (printing) money and how much newsagents’ (return freight) money gets pulped every year?
    If publishers don’t effectively manage supply to newsagents, if newsagents don’t communicate with publishers about what they want and as distributors can’t be relied on to get it right, it adds up to a humungous about of pulp. Waste, waste, waste.
