According to Greenpeace, only 24 books are produced for every Canadian
spruce that is chopped down. But eco-conscious bibliophiles could find a
solution in book-swapping websites.
Take BookMooch, a
site run from California that allows users to earn credit for every book
they want to give away. The site facilitates the meeting between users
and they take it from there.
With almost 70,000 users in 91 countries, BookMooch is the most
successful site of its kind. Since its launch in 2006, nearly 700,000
books have been swapped.
Who knowsmaybe your beach-weathered copy of The Kite Runner
could end up on a nightstand in Nepal.
