BookRenter.com saves you gr$$n by being green

• By renting books, BookRenter.com promotes recycling: we reduce the number of new books printed through the reuse of existing ones.
• On average, a book is reused five times. By re-renting books, BookRenter.com decreases demand for virgin fiber paper. The US book industry uses this paper for books, at a cost of approximately 20 million trees a year.
• By reducing the number of trees cut for books, you also help reduce global warming- there are more trees to absorb carbon dioxide and there is less fuel being burned for cutting, transporting, and processing trees into paper.
• In order for all parts of our business to be green, BookRenter.com gets help from the businesses and organizations listed below:
