Daily Greenz #98

    As an eco-friendly bookworm, you try to off-set your need to read by borrowing from your local library or buying from used bookstores like www.strandbooks.com.  But considering that publishers cut down 20 million trees each year to produce new books, you want to do more.  With the recent partnership of Eco-Libris and BookMooch, you now can.

The two services have joined their philosophies to allow a free exchange of used books (BookMooch) with planting a tree for every dollar donated to the cause (Eco-Libris).  In this case, members can earn a BookMooch point for every $10 they donate to Eco-Libris, allowing them to mooch a book online for free.  Since Eco-Libris’s philosophy is to plant one tree for every book you read since every book you read was once a tree, each dollar you give to the cause is really just another way to ensure that books will last forever.  What bookworm can resist such an eco-friendly guarantee?  So start reading and planting at www.ecolibris.net and www.bookmooch.com.
