Harry Potter saving trees?

Hehehe--OMG you were reading Sweet 16? Hey do you remember Tiger Beat? LOL--This really is good news...more publishers should be more tree conscious and publish their books on recycled paper too

This is an awesome idea. I am glad that they are doing this and more books should be printed this way. too bad though that the final HP book is the only one printed this way. Or is it?

What? I mean that just seems like common sense. Why oh why aren't all books printed on recycled paper? Know what I mean? But yeah props to the Harry Potter people for taking this step.

That is a really good idea! Go them!!! I can't wait for it too come out...this last month is going to drag! LOL

I have never read any of the Harry Potter books but they have been a best seller in our area for the last couple of years with all the children and are said to be really good books . I did watch bits and pieces of some of the movies they have out but never got into it that much to watch the whole movie . They must be good books though because they have been out on the market for awhile and I can remember a couple of years ago when one of my children wanted one for Christmas and I couldn't get over the price they wanted for just one book . I ended up I didn't pick it up and said they could try and borrow one from the libarary as the books were quite expensive .

Considering the popularity of the Harry Potter books printing them on recycled paper is a truly great idea, so many copies of those books are sold, and it just makes sense. The issue over deforestation is such a big one, it nice to hear that a company that doesn't need good will publicity to promote the selling of a particular product is doing something like this. Lets face these books will sell regardless of the good will generated by the idea of the recycled paper or not, so he doesn't need to do something this positive, and there are times when using recycled paper can cost more not less, but I think in a case like this when a company is using such a large volume of paper it wouldn't facter in as much.

It is a truly remarkable decision. I whole-heartedly support the publishers decision. Awareness and effort on part of all of us is required to make this world a stay as it is. We must all strive to keep the earth beautiful

Oh wow! That is so awesome! Think of all the prints of that book alone are sold! And to use recycled paper is a huge deal!!!! I so wish that other publishers would catch on to this! I have so many books and if I knew they were on recycled paper, it would be even better. :) Thanks for sharing! This is great news!!! :)

I think it is great too.There are to many trees that are took out already because of fires and others for wood. So recycled paper is a great idea.

While this is a good thing in some ways I feel a bit sad for the timber industry. I hate plastic, unless it's re-cycled, and I hate that so much of what we use today is not made to last and ends up on the tip. Where I live the last sawmill in the area closed down last year. This area grows lots of cyprus pine, my house is made of it. The closing of the last sawmill brought a nil employment situation to the next town. It's the same where I live. There are now no jobs. Tree plantations are managed and new trees are planted to replace those used. Trees are a renewable resource.

WOW! now that truly is a book worth reading now! I am impressed. Seriously, I mean to be consciously aware of things we already should be is a great thing!

wow this is really great! and Harry has defintely made a difference in lots of kids lives all around the world what with a previous report sating that kids are getting into the habit of reading books after the release of Harry Potter series and now this! i am sure this will go a long way in saving trees and our mother - earth and kids becoming aware of such issues is good for everyone :) thank you sharing this one more point i can brag about HARRY and the magic he has brought into my life :)

that's a great idea:) with all the books that get purchased,and then sometimes thrown away later,maybe they should make it mandatory across the board. kills me how many trees might have been wasted just on the junk mail i get alone.

I hope that such a move will inspire others to follow. We really need companies to follow the environmental bandwagon. But what will be better is if they put a label somewhere prominent in the book that it is of recycled material. This will at least instill some awareness to all the young readers of Harry Potter that not only does the book entertain, but also worries for their future.

I think that's great!!! Seeing as the books r so long it makes sense to just used recycled paper instead of cutting down trees that could b used for sumthing else.

Yes I have to agree with you and that is good News I wish more Companies would do the same thing to be honest with you

I wish we can recycle everything…and save our planet…when I was small, everybody in school should bring recycle newspapers to school, so school could sell it for profit…I wish we teach kids to do it…I can see too many pares in regular garbage…

If they would printed out this book in recycled paper much better . It is really needed that we must save our enviroment and cutting trees would just create more problems with our environment today. Since a lot of people would buy this book it is much better really if they would print it out in recycled paper to help save our enviroment.

i think this is a great news... this will serve as an inspiration for other publishers to do the same.. =)

This is really a fabulous news.thats great that companies are going to implement this in future.Now there will be more greenary.byee.
