It’s Earth month and earth day is coming soon. It’s the month to remind us of ways to help preserve our resources. As readers, we can help keep books out of landfills and even save money and space.
1. Borrow books from friends, family, and the local library.
2. Buy used books if you must have that book for your shelves.
3. Download e-books and audio books. There are tons of free resources out there. Check out your local library for downloadable books!
4. Stop receiving phone books when you can now search online and even on your phones for numbers and addresses.
5. Donate your books to a local charity, church, or school organization.
6. Sign up for PaperSwapBooks and the many other online book swapping communities to trade books with others.
7. Swap magazines and when you’re done, leave them in doctor’s offices (just remember to remove your mailing label).
8. Turn damaged old thick books into art projects with the kids or even make them into decorative storage boxes.
