The environmental savings of digital news

Researchers at University of California (UC) Berkeley researched the environmental impact of reading a newspaper on a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) versus in reading the paper form.

[I]f just a quarter of newspaper readers around the country switched to reading the news on their PDA, they’d generate just two to three percent of the carbon dioxide that would have resulted from the 14 million print newspapers they no longer need.

A good argument for syndicated feeds!
