Buying Gently Used Books, The Green Choice
Making the decision to purchase gently used books instead of new "is" a green choice.
In this age of trying to be the best steward of our world, choosing green choices for purchasing is a must.
One way to do due diligence to the green-movement is through buying pre-read books.
Many of these pre-read books are read and discarded filling up are landfills.
What a waste! There are many, many books that have earned their right to rest in the landfill after being so well loved that they are no longer readable.
But for most, they continue to have a lot of life and a lot of ability to be loved.
They deserve to live on in someone else's library.
Many avid readers of the world literally suck down hard cover and paperback books like others would food.
You can take it from someone who knows that this is true.
A truly obsessed reader, can no way shape or form have enough space to confine all the wonderful books that they will read throughout the course of their life.
They start out life with one, two if they're luck book shelves; which rapidly fill up over the course of their life.
But their favorite writers keep writing, new series are created every day; so they continue to buy.
This endeavor can be pricey unless they make the choice to purchase gently used books.
Yes there are electronic options out there they could utilize, such as buying one of those electronic readers.
These store thousands of books for them on one machine.
Though this option is fantastic, it still isn't the same as that delicious feeling of turning a page, holding a real book.
Take it from a true reader, while electronic readers have their place in an avid readers world there will always be the lust for the real book.
So those shelves will continue to see use or...
abuse depending on your load of books.
So making the choice to sell and purchase gently used books only makes financial and sanity sense.
If it matters to you about taking part in the green movement here, indeed, is a way to slowly ease into it by purchasing pre-read books.
Who knows start with books and you may work up to bigger things after.
So making the choice to purchase gently used books, or even to donate those already read books, is just another way for you to say that you're willing to help make the world a greener place.
