Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
What a great time to show your green by skipping those paper books and find some new reads in ebooks. Not only are they a simple and easy way to catch up on your Spring reading list ebooks are completely GREEN!
The people at All Romance eBooks have launched a site all about going green. Not about authors or stories, but promoting the ebooks and all the glories that come with using them.
We chose to do this because the idea that nature should be preserved is important to us. It is a core value and one of the reasons that we adore eBooks
eBooks 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.
Some numbers:
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.
So, this St. Paddy’s day show the world that being green doesn’t have to end on March 18 and those trees can live another day!
