Reading Makes You Smarter in More Ways than One

Daily Greenz #98

Ecolibris2_3
    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.

Daily Greenz #40

Booklazyenvrionmentalistgreen_6
If you’ve ever stressed about being green, put your fears aside. Josh Dorfman teaches you how to be well fed, well coiffed, well dressed, and well traveled while remaining "deeply committed to and ecologically sustainable lifestyle."
His book, The Lazy Environmentalist, provides guidance for fashion-forward consumers who are as

concerned about the long-term health of our planet as they are about the design of their bathroom fixtures.

Apparently, green can be quite stylish.
We told you so.

Find this book for $10.17 at Amazon.com.
