Another Way to Green Your Reading
E-books are an excellent way to cut down on the demand for trees and the water and energy used to produce and transport print books. While I still love the feel of a print book in my hands while cozying up for an evening of reading, e-books really are the more environmentally-conscious way to go.
If you have the money, there are portable electronic readers that can hold your entire e-book library that are easy to take with you wherever you go. If you’re like me and don’t have the money for something like that, reading e-books on your computer is still a way to save trees and enjoy a good read. Naturally, your computer still uses energy during your reading session, but you are able to cut down on the energy, transportation and waste involved in print book publishing.
E-books also tend to be less expensive, so they have the added benefit of saving you money.
