The Digital Reader

The Rainforest Action Network (RAN) has just put out a report linking 18 children’s books (out of a test group of 30) to wood that was harvested from Indonesia’s endangered rain forests. The 30 books are from the top ten U.S. children’s publishers, and most of the  publishers had at least one title that failed the test – including some books that describe the benefits of rainforest conservation.

Report

P.S. Yes, I know the title is over the top. But it got your attention, didn’t it?

P.P.S. This damaging report could never have been made about ebooks. For example, mine are made of 100% recycled electrons.
