Readers
PEA believes that every reader can become a "green reader."
PEA is a resource for the reader who wants to learn more about the impact of book publishing, and who wants to make responsible choices about what and how they read. This website will show you how you can take action to ensure that the pages of information you read over a lifetime will not destroy natural resources for future generations. From antiquarian book collecting to the digital books of the future, PEA readers simply love books!
One aspect of PEA is the unique symbols we have developed for readers to instantly recognize earth-friendly practices in publishing.
- Pea Member: The publisher of the book is committed to earth-friendly practices.
- Recycled Content: Part or all of the content of the paper used in the manufacturing of the book is made up of recycled content.
- Sustainable Forestry: The paper used in the manufacturing of the book comes from forests sustainably managed.
- Earth-Friendly Printing: Production processes used in the manufacturing of the book are compliant with earth-friendly guidelines.
- Cause Supporting: Some or all of the proceeds goes to support a kubu.orgtm certified non-profit cause, foundation, charity, or initiative.
Make the next time you pick up a book even more rewarding, by knowing you have taken action on behalf of the environment that provides resources for all the books in your library.
