Green bookstore pick: Better World Books


While we've spotlighted green book sources before, I do believe that Better World Books might be the only place you'll be shopping in the future.

Here's what makes them so great, and my new top pick for book buying:
  1. All books sold help fund high-impact literacy projects around the world.
  2. Not only do they sell new books, but they collect and sell donated books as well. Not only is this a great way to reduce/reuse/recycle, it also has helped to generate $4.5 million in funding for literacy and education. So far, over 6,000 tons of books have avoided landfills.
  3. To date, Better World Books has donated over 1 million books to literacy programs.
  4. Every order is shipped carbon neutral, using offsets from Carbonfund.org.
  5. The company was started by college students who knew first-hand about the importance of passing on textbooks, literacy and business with a social conscience.
