I recently discovered a new way to reduce my reading imprint: Eco-Libris. A genius of an idea, at Eco-Libris they plant a tree for every book you read in a developing nation. Since I live within ten minutes of Powell’s Books I feel less guilty about my book purchases since they eventually end up back on the shelves of Powell’s.
I’m up for anything that helps make reading more sustainable. I’ve researched some of the new technology out there, like the Kindle. I’ve yet to purchase one, because one of my favorite thing about reading is the tangibility. I love the smell of bookstores, bitter coffee and stale books. I love book covers, and turning the corner down on pages that I must read again. I’m sure I’ll find a way to evolve with technology. In the meantime I’m planting some trees!
