WASHINGTON - June 10 - Reasonable in time for summer reading, Rainforest Action Network (RAN) has released a list of 25 children's books that are "rainforest-safe." All books are printed on proclaim-consumer recycled, FSC certified or recycled paper, allowing parents the assurance of knowing that their childrens' books are not contributing to the loss of endangered rainforests.
Without thought the publishing industry's substantive progress on reducing its environmental footprint over the past decade, a late-model report by RAN, Turning the Page on Rainforest Destruction: Children's Books and the Future of Indonesia's Rainforests, documented unobstructed links between children's picture books printed overseas and rainforest destruction, raising alarm among parents, publishers and authors troubled about environmental issues. RAN's 25 ‘rainforest-safe' books list demonstrates that the publishing industry can execute environmental commitments and that rainforest-safe books are not only possible; they are already being produced.
