God goes green

The U.S. publisher Thomas Nelson will be publishing the world’s first eco-friendly Bible later this month, according to The Book Standard.

The Charles F. Stanley Life Principles Daily Bible will be certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and production will flow from a FSC-certified forest through a paper manufacturer and printer that have FSC chain-of-custody certification. “Our team is excited to be taking some important steps forward in protecting the resources God has given us,” said Michael S. Hyatt, president and CEO of Thomas Nelson.

The story goes on to point out that the Bible is the most widely circulated book on the planet, which is true, of course, but it’s not like this is the only version of it floating around. We’re not sure who this Charles F. Stanley dude is, but he probably doesn’t have as deep market penetration as, say, King James. Still, it’s a good start.
