Economist Recycling

[deguspice]

I recently spent some expiring frequent flyer miles on a subscription to The Economist magazine. Instead of recycling it by tossing it in the recycling bin, I wondered if someone in the local area would like to read the magazines when we're done with them?

If you've never read the magazine, their website is: http://www.economist.com/

I'd be keen on that. I wonder what a good transfer mechanism would be, though; any ideas? (I've been on a pretty absurdly late schedule these days, but could easily pick them up if there's someplace they could be where you wouldn't have to be awake. Alternately, if Arisia meetings are still at MIT and you'd be willing to deal with the hassle, I'd be happy to set you up with a stack of interdepartmental mail envelopes that you could drop in any of numerous campus mailboxes.)

I'd take them, not that I'm exactly local.

Another option that I use for magazines is to give them to the local library. They've got a box by the front door where you can drop off or pick up magazines. I've found several interesting magazines that way.

I'm curious- which frequent flyer program let you trade in miles for a subscription to the Economist? I'd love to be a subscriber but I've never been willing to pay that much. On the other hand, I've got useless amounts of miles on every frequent flyer program there is...
