Recycled Harry?
(Source: Greenpeace.org) If Bloomsbury and Scholastic, the UK and US publishers for the Harry Potter series respectively, used recycled paper in the printing of the books, many thousands of trees from ancient forests would be saved.
And so it has become a Greenpeace mission to convince the two publishing giants to switch to 100 percent ancient forest friendly paper.
Bloomsbury has recently sent word that it "ordered exclusively Forest Stewardship Council accredited paper for the printing of 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'". If they are true to their word, the next Harry Potter book could become the first major UK fiction book to be printed on 100% ancient forest friendly paper.
Raincoast Books, the Canadian publisher of the Harry Potter series went 100 percent ancient forest friendly in 2003.
No word yet on any response from Scholastic.
