Rent a DVD, CD or book instead of buying
Why buy DVDs and books when you only watch or read them once? Much better to hire them from your library (free in the case of books of course) and you’re using a worthwhile community resource at the same time. We’d caution against copying CDs you borrow, as that’s illegal of course, although many digital players such as iTunes will automatically rip a copy of the album to your hard disk as soon as you pop the CD into your PC. And while you’re there, you can pick up the day’s news from the papers, all free of course. Much as we love the internet, it simply isn’t the same as picking up a copy of the Times, Guardian or Sun.
