Gardner is Adam Gardner of Guster, an incredible band who are leading Going Green initiatives for concerts, etc. We’re GG in the Cohen household these days, and the kids are learning along the way. Good stuff.

Are Printed Books “Un Media Green”? http://www.librarystuff.net/2007/11/08/are-printed-books-un-media-green/ Thu, 08 Nov 2007 13:37:23 +0000 http://www.librarystuff.net/2007/11/08/are-printed-books-un-media-green/ Steve Rubel thinks so. I agree, to a point (I rarely use a printer or photocopier and do most of my reading online).

What if we were able to recycle 100% of every printed book, maybe after we read them? Drink a Pepsi, recycle the can. Read a Stephen King novel, recycle the book. Is this possible?
