Read Green Initiative Aims to Cut Deforestation, Trash Creation

If you’ve been looking for a way to green up your reading then the Read Green Initiative may just be for you. Essentially, it’s being organized by Zinio, the world’s largest publisher and distributor of digital magazines, providing magazines in a media-rich digital format for purchase as opposed to the classic paper that shows up in your mailbox.
Of course, you may have reservations about getting your favorite magazine via the internet, but they’ve got a special running for the moment that just may entice you to give it a shot.
Currently, you can select one FREE one-year subscription to the magazine of your choice. And with the enormous amount of deforestation tearing away at the world's forests there's little reason not to see how it works out.

I've subscribed to Macworld through Zinio. I love the idea and the software is decent enough but 2 things make it a difficult proposition: being tied to a computer to read and the crappy DRM. I'd be far more likely to use their services more if it weren't for the latter. Following any major changes to your computer or OS you have to download ALL of the magazines again before you can read them. DRM=PITA=NO SALE
