Eco-Libris
Eco-Libris is a green business that works with book readers, publishers, authors, bookstores
and others in the book industry to balance out the paper used for books by planting trees. More than
30 Million trees are cut down annually for virgin paper used for the production of books sold in the
U.S. alone. Eco-Libris aims to raise awareness to the environmental impacts of using paper for the
production of books and provide people and businesses with an affordable and easy way to do
something about it: plant one tree for every book they read, sell or publish. Customers also receive
a sticker made of recycled paper for every book they balance out saying "One tree planted for this
book" and can later display these stickers on their books' sleeves. Publishers can use our logo in
their cover designs to indicate one tree is planted for that book.
Eco-Libris partnered with three highly respected US and UK registered non-profit organizations that
work in collaboration with local communities in developing countries to plant these trees. These
trees are planted in high ecological and sustainable standards in Latin America (Nicaragua,
Guatemala, Panama, Belize, Honduras) and Africa (Malawi), where deforestation is a crucial problem.
Planting trees in these places not only helps to fight climate change and conserve soil and water,
but also benefits many local people, for whom these trees offer many benefits, such as improvement
of crops and additional food and income, and an opportunity for a better future. For more
