Thanks for the link to last Friday’s 1GreenProduct.com story on Eco-Libris, BookMooch and other ways to green your reading habits. Sorry that I omitted mention of a trend toward printing on recycled paper. I guess it’s because I wasn’t aware of the trend! If you can point me in the direction of any stats or sources, I’d be happy to an add an update/note to my original post.

Thanks!
