Send an owl, save a tree!

I'm sure you have all heard/read something about this somewhere or other, but I want to take the opportunity to inform those who are still in the dark and to encourage those who are not.

Greenpeace is trying to convince Bloomsbury publishers to print Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince on ancient forrest friendly paper to help spare a few trees lives. I strongly encourage you all to visit this web site to become more informed about the cause and if you scroll to the bottom of the page you can send an owl to the publishers showing your support for the cause. I particularly like the message (it's one of those automated ones but you can change it if you like) that's sent in the owl because although it is encouraging, it's respectful and not overbearing.

So anyhow, go send and owl and then hug a tree! They're pretty and they give you clean oxygen!!!! Thanks for your time!

I totally agree... that's always made me feel guilty about that :P

Me too. It's a small contribution to help the environment, but every bit helps.

Small? There are sooooo many HP books made, it would be huge! :D

Ooo. o.o;; That's a good idea. ^.^
With millions of HP books circulating the whole world, a whole forest might get cut down because of all that paper. ♥

Exactly! I never really thought about it before until I read the article.

Raincoast, the company that publishes HP in Canada, started with Order of Phoenix. I sent them a letter to thank them back when OotP came out.

You might want to send owls to Scholastic as well: think how many books will be sold in the States.

I think if you click the send and owl thing you can also send one to Scholastic...but I might be wrong.

Yeah, they talk about that a little bit in the article. Hopefully the fact that it has been done before will urge other publishers to jump on board.

I cant speak for every paper company, but my dad works in the paper industry and his company plants 1 or maybe 2 new trees for every tree they cut down. They dont just cut down trees and run. :)

That's really cool that they do that.
