Save a tree, go GREEN
and
read e-books
E-Books
are created electronically. No trees are cut to produce them.
No ink is used to put the words on the page. No fossil fuel is used to
run presses or power trucks to move them around the country. No storage
facilities are heated to store boxes of books until they are shipped to
bookstores.
E-Books
are delivered to the end user electronically. They are read
electronically. They are disposed of with a push of a delete button,
without ever taking up room in a landfill.
Consider This:
- It takes twelve trees to produce a ton of printing
paper.
Twenty-four trees for higher grade writing paper.
- A mature tree can produce as much oxygen in a season as ten
people
inhale in a year.
- Only 5% of the paper
used in the book industry is recycled.
- Up
to 35% of books printed for consumers are never read. They are
returned to the publisher and end up in landfills.
- 71% of the world's paper supply comes from natural forests,
rather
than tree farms.
