At 784 pages and millions of preordered copies around the world, the seventh and final installment of the Harry Potter saga stands to destroy a lot of forests. But don't feel guilty about buying it: The first US edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be printed on recycled paper. This marks the single largest purchase of sustainably produced paper used in a single book printing--not so surprising, given that the first US print run will be twelve million books.
My kids are nowhere near old enough even to listen to these stories, so I have no excuse for how excited I am about this book. Maybe now I can chalk it up to my fierce devotion to environmental causes.
Of course, you can preorder the book at Amazon. You know, for your kids. And for the planet.
