My first thought was to buy at a store instead of online (reducing packaging and shipping emissions) but the B&N on Ventura didnt have it.
My second thought was, what else can a consumer do? "Hi. I'd like to buy this book from a publisher that only uses soy-based ink and recycled paper, and also uses only bio-degradable packaging material and shippers that purchase carbon emissions offsets. Can you help?""
hahaha. right?
Well, that is silly, but hey... maybe someone is doing this. So here is the email I sent to Amazon.
Hello,
I am interesting in purchasing books only from vendors who meet the highest environmental standards. Specifically, can Amazon help me shop from publishers that only use soy based ink and recycled paper?
I'd also prefer only bio-degradable packaging material and shippers that purchase carbon emissions offsets.
Can you assist? Thank you.
It will be interesting to see if I get a real reply...
