Collegians, in this economy, who wants to spend more for shiny new textbooks? If you're sick of the paper chase, think how the forests must feel. In 2006, the American book industry emitted 12.4 million tons of CO2, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and 63 percent of that carbon footprint came from paper; each book accounted for almost nine pounds of GHG emissions. See the report here. It's egregious enough to have to pay big bucks for those xeroxed custom class tomes compiled by professors (but don't try to get away without it!).Comments

This is a great article, thank you. I am very concerned about the environment and I always try to get my books used or in digital format or as rentals. I have had really good luck finding all of those and saving a lot of money at www.campusbooks.com. I even sold some back using the website.
