Do PCF readers care about the planet?

[Bob-Skanking]

I have been a avid reader of PCF for a number of years now.

The other day a family member gave me all his old copies from 2005 to 2008 I was overcome with joy to sa the least.

A few days later, with very sore strained eyes I looked at my sister with utter disgust as she asked me "can I take these old mags to the recycle dump?"

OH MY LORD!!!! Recycle PCF mags? are you nuts???? It took me a couple of minutes to explain to here about how recycling some stuff is good for the planet but PCF should never be recycled. I explained "At most! you give it to a family member to read, then that family member passes them on to someone else but, NEVER EVER recycles them!"

I want to know how many other readers share my sentiments or do they recycle, (god forbid), their PCF mags?

I've collected every issue since 2003, that's a lot, and now with us moving houses I'm coming to terms with putting them out to pasture, but rather than recycling I'm thinking first about donating to a library, school, rotary or something and then recycling as a last resort.

I once thought PCF should start an initiative where we could give back three old back issues to PCF to recycle in exchange for one of the new issues as a sort of initiative, nobody took the hook though.

We had the same problem. We donated them to schools in the area. But it is old tech (lol) - so the more privileged kids don't want them

My parents' church collects waste paper, so all the subs go to them once they've done duty in the loo for a few months.

[Tribble]

I have some extra if you want - it is amazing how quickly they pile up.

I get the mag for free, so I take a cursory glance through it and if I don't immediately see anything interesting, I throw it in the bin.
That's after I sell the DVD, of course.

to those of you in the JHB/Pretoria regions:

We are trying to get hold of back issues of PCF, particularly all those before 2007. I will happily come and collect. Can't promise any reward for this except my gratitude.

[Tribble]

Of course.

Oh - I shall have a look - may still have some of those.

[Jonboy]

You can gladly have all of mine from 2003 if you're willing to come collect from Parktown North.

Just a suggestion as I discussed before, how about rewarding with something like a 3 months subscription for a big enough pile, because I must literally have about 300 magazines, all in mint condition.

I think I have 2 boxes worth in various conditions. They date back to Tamsin.

[Bob-Skanking]

Yeah I got some tamsin also... Don't remember that ed.

[Stuart]

You don't remember Tamsin? What sort of reader are you?

[Bob-Skanking]

Man my memory is shot... wasted youth and all LOL I just remember how I used to love finding teh hidden section of the cd "mars & Cameron" You know the format of PCF has not changed but the content has changed a hell of alot and there are things I wish would come back. For example... Workshop. What ever happened to that article. Take an app from the cover disc and do a workshop on it. Brilliant... But gone
