We ask once again that you support the idea of 
       Electronic publishing by subscribing to this 
       or any other of our magazines,  by calling one
       of our 900#s on a regular basis, or at least by
       printing and then returning to us an application
       for our Long Distance Savings Plan.  

       We went to a great deal of trouble to make sure
       that we had a way for our readers to save at least
       as much money as we would have to ask them to give
       us in support.  We are trying our level best to 
       bring to the American people a way to get their 
       news and information in a manner that does not 
       destroy the environment.  Electronic publishing,
       though it does require the use of electricity for
       the running of the computer and monitor, uses one
       one hundredth of the energy consumed by a single
       newspaper.  Think about it.  They have to bring 
       heavy equipment out to a forest.  Chop down the 
       trees, truck them to a mill, mill them, truck them
       to the lumber yard, truck them to the paper mill
       which grinds them up into paper, which is trucked 
       to your local newspaper where they throw tons of 
       oil-based ink on it.  Then, when you're done the
       trucks come once again to pick it up and take it
       to a dump where it fills up huge areas of landfill 
       and all the chemicals that went into the newsprint,
       leech into the ground and pollute the water you 
       drink.

       Computers use about a thimble full of oil every two 
       or three days of normal use and by the end of this
       century, they will use a fraction of this because 
       of new ways of making computers that use less and
       less electricity.  The monitor is the only real
       offender, using about as much electricity as a 100
       watt light bulb.  The CPU itself only uses about 
       as much as a night light, about 12 watts.  

       We'll constantly be able to improve on the power
       conservation of the computers we use, and there's 
       always going to be plenty of oil.  There is, however,
       a limited number of forests for producing paper.  
       We really have come to a turning point, where we 
       will make our minds to tear down all the remaining
       forests on this planet, or try newer, environmentally
       safe methods of getting our information needs met.
       
       This is the goal of this company and its foundation,
       The Unlearning Foundation.  We hope that someday, 
       everyone on this planet will get more information 
       from electronic means than any other source.  When 
       this happens, and we have the strength to take on 
       bigger challenges, like the oil companies, then, we
       will all be able to breathe easier.  What's more
       important, our children and their children will be
       able to breathe alot easier too.  And maybe even 
       drink the water.

       Please support us.  Print out a Long Distance Form
       and mail it in to us along with your subscription or
       even without it.  It doesn't cost you anything.  In
       fact, it only pays you to save money on your phone
       bill.  If you have a small business, it could save
       you hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year.
       More than enough to cover the cost of subscribing to
       this magazine.  

       Once, you do this, you'll feel like you're doing 
       something to leave this planet a better place than 
       the way you found it.  That, by the way, is the whole
       purpose of life.  We're here as a kind of test.  We're
       here to see how many of us can leave this place in a
       better condition in which we found it.  That's why 
       we decided to publish this kind of magazine.  We know
       that there is a place for us in eternity.  But there 
       is a different place for people who go through their 
       entire life without a moment's thought to what a 
       miracle their birth is, the birth of all living things
       here on this beautiful planet, spinning so silently 
       and effortlessly in Space.  

       Please support us.  There are so many things we want
       to tell you.
