This morning, I went to her room here in the US, to see something, and found out what happens to (at least the print edition) of Citizen Matters after it is read....This pleased me intensely, as the whole Citizen Matters team is a great one for recycling and re-using, and what better use of paper than to recycle it and make containers?So Citizen Matters is useful to the public....when it's being read, and afterwards, too!  ⊕
