The benefits to your bank balance and personal library are not the only things to be considered when buying a second-hand book. In recent years, we've all become increasingly aware of how devastating our impact can be on the environment, and what we as individuals can do to help reduce the catastrophic damage being done to our planet. For many of us, this has involved making small changes to our everyday lives and buying habits to live a more carbon neutral lifestyle. Book lovers especially are increasingly questioning the environmental cost of their choices.

There's no escaping the fact that the production of books leaves a gigantic carbon footprint that can't be ignored. From the initial deforestation to the fossil fuels used in their manufacture and the chemicals in the ink, the environment pays a heavy price for each new book produced, not to mention the emissions produced from transporting these books around the world.

If these books are only read once then thrown away, destined for landfill, the environmental cost is enormous. As well as being a major source of methane gas, one of the biggest contributing gases to global warming, toxic waste from landfills contaminate our water supply and poison both communities and the planet.

At AwesomeBooks, we believe that there's a better way. We believe that there's a more sustainable way to buy books. We believe that for every book that's thrown away, there's a reader who desperately wants to cherish it. We aim to stop books being thrown away by collecting these millions of and selling them to people who need and want them, people who understand the importance not only of the written word but also the environmental responsibility we all bear. We're also proud to support literacy programs around the world, and donate used books to inspire and empower the next generation of readers.
