SUSTAINABILITY: The greenest options are the e-book format or buying a used paperback, or asking your library to order it. Hardcopies are printed on demand at printers closer to the point of purchase, which saves some resources by reducing fossil fuels and paper waste, but this also means that use of recycled paper (or a set percentage) cannot be guaranteed across the various printers, unfortunately. So the author is donating a portion of any annual royalties to the Environmental Paper Network, which is a nonprofit global network of organizations dedicated to protecting forests and holding the paper industry accountable for sustainability. Additionally, the researching, interviewing, and writing of this book did not require any travel and was conducted primarily from the author's couch, which is not as much fun but certainly greener.
