Letters

Dear Africa Talks,
Thank you for noticing that a cosy read of something printed is more pleasant. Please advise how to go about receiving a copy of Africa Talks in future.

Thank you and best regards,

Hello Lesley,

Disturbed to hear that you are resorting to the printed matter. This does appear on the surface to be a strange move by a conservation focused entity? With all that is known to effect the environment (use of natural trees, heavy reliance on natural water, printing ink poison, cost of delivery – carbon footprint – wastage etc) I would have thought that the email application would be the right way to go.

You will have a good reason to publish this newspaper Lesley, I would love to hear of it.

Dear Colin,
Thanks for your letter – we are printing as well as being on the Internet so to reach the many thousands of readers who do not have access to computers and do not want to read lengthy matter on a screen. AFRICA TALKS is a free distribution publication as we feel very strongly that conservation and environmental matters are not just for those who can afford it.

Have you considered the environmental degradation caused by mining coal, road and rail transport of the coal, massive power stations, damming of rivers etc., all to produce electricity for those who can afford computers?
