By Courtney Lindwall Verified| WJXT-TV (Jacksonville, FL) Verified Switching to a new wireless carrier may seem like a hassle, but according to a Consumer Reports member survey, it’s well worth the effort. While more than 40% of respondents said they had been using their current provider for over a decade, 7% had changed services in the previous 12 months — and some saved more than $40 a month. “Verizon and AT&T are clearly getting outmaneuvered for new customers by the smaller providers,” says Martin Lachter, a research program leader in CR’s survey department.
By Courtney Lindwall Verified| OnEarth Magazine Verified For NRDC attorney Garett Rose, it’s the way the Tongass National Forest shapes his sense of time that feels most powerful. Just looking around—at the towering, 800-year-old spruce trees; at the icy fjords carved by retreating glaciers; at the spawning salmon, making runs down the same Alaskan rivers they’ve traveled for thousands of years—it’s “like standing at the edge of Grand Canyon, thinking about how long it’s taken those rivers to carve that desert landscape,” Rose says.

Consumer Reports is a nonprofit organization dedicated to consumer advocacy, founded in 1936. Originally known as Consumers Union, it was established to provide unbiased evaluations of goods and services during a time of limited consumer protections. The organization is headquartered in the U.S. and operates independently, as it does not accept advertising or free product samples. Consumer Reports conducts rigorous product testing across various categories, including appliances, electronics, and vehicles. It also engages in investigative reporting on public health and safety issues, advocating for consumer protection policies such as drug pricing transparency and product safety regulations. Additionally, it offers digital tools like product comparison databases and reliability surveys to assist consumers in making informed purchasing decisions. The organization targets individual consumers, providing them with access to ratings, reviews, and buying guides through a membership model.
