Greening the Bookshelves

By , About.com GuideAugust 6, 2007

Follow me on:

Did you know that 20 million trees are cut down annually for the virgin paper to produce books sold in the United States alone?

The mission of Eco-Libris is to offset that impact by easily and affordably (about $1 per tree, I think) empowering readers to plant a tree for every book they read. Readers, in turn, receive an Eco-Libris sticker to put on the book jacket (yes, made of out of recycled paper) and the satisfaction of being part of the solution.

Get your questions answered - how they do it, where they do it, their tree-planting partners - at www.ecolibris.net.
