| | |  Greenpeace praise Bloomsbury
Greenpeace have praised Bloomsbury, the UK publishers of Harry Potter, for printing Deathly Hallows on 100 percent ancient forest friendly papers. Quote:
"This announcement is great news and means that Harry Potter's magic will be helping to protect the world's ancient forests. Unfortunately, this is not the case for all books printed in the UK.
But by publishing the forthcoming books on a paper combining recycled and Forest Stewardship Council certified fibre, Bloomsbury are making good on their commitment to go ancient forest friendly."
It's also great to hear that Bloomsbury are looking to use 100 per cent recycled fibre where possible for other books, which is the most eco friendly option available."

 This is too cool, JK is setting the example for everyone else to use recycled paper as much as possible.  EDIT: First to post! WOOT!!! This NEVER happens ^-^

I'm exceedingly happy with my Harry Potter book being printed on recycled paper! Maybe this will help raise awareness of the importance of recycling in our modern consumer society.

Eek! This is awesome! I do hope that they do the same thing to other books *nods*
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

Go Blooomsbury. I think we should start a campaign to buy all our books from Bloomsbury!!!!!!!!!!!!111111 Even those of us who live abroad ... *pokes Scholastic*
Scholastic could just raise the price of the book, it's not like B&N isn't going to drop like 30% or more off the cover neways ...
