Students Take Initiative to Get More Out of Books
A Book is a Terrible Thing to Waste
In ancient times, swords and other metal objects were melted down after they had reached the end of their useful life cycle to make coins, statues and other house-hold items.
Ask anyone who was alive during World War II about the importance of recycling to help the war effort.
So while the concept is nothing new, like anything else, the means and methods are (hopefully) being improved constantly.
What does this have to do with writing, you ask?
Well, a group of graduate students in the Writing and Book Publishing program at Portland State University has taken up the challenge of helping to resolve the wasteful practices of the book publishing industry.
If you like to read, are considering publishing a book or if you just care about the environment, I think you will find this site very informative.
If nothing else, check out the item about the Book Mooch.

Post a CommentNext, we'll be recycling humans--just kidding. Good article.
Good information.
Thanks for some great information. Recycling isn't optional in Seattle-if you don't do it, you get fined.
We have to recycle here. The utility company that picks up our trash gives us recycling bins that we have to put out at the curb each week.
good article, I recycle all the time
