Eco-Libris is a new green business that lets book readers balance out the paper used for the books they read by planting trees. Books are everywhere - for some people they’re for education, for others they’re an entertaining escapade and for some, reading is really a passion. About 20 Million trees are cut down annually for virgin paper used for the production of books sold in the U.S. alone. What we want to do is to raise awareness to the environmental impacts of using paper for the production of books and provide people with an affordable and easy way to do something about it. The process itself is fairly simple - upon entering the website, you decide how many books you would like to balance out. Then you pay online and a tree is planted for each of these books. Customers also receive a sticker from Eco-Libris, made of recycled paper, for every book they balance out, saying "One tree was planted for this book," which they can later display on their books' sleeves. We have partnered with three highly respected US and UK registered non-profit organizations that work in collaboration with local communities in Latin America and Africa, where deforestation is a crucial problem, and planting trees not only helps to fight climate change and conserve soil and water, but also benefits many local communities. And here's an extra incentive for our fellow bookmoochers: For every 10 books you balance out on our website, we will give you one BookMooch point. Read more about it at BookMooch Blog. When you balance out books with us, don’t forget to email us your BookMooch username after you made the purchase, or put a comment during the purchase on the PayPal page. And since many were asking here is a clarification: We will send the stickers worldwide without any extra cost. Shipping is always included. Happy mooching and happy tree planting!
