Latest Harry Potter Goes Green

Normally I like to write about books whose topics are eco-friendly. But in this case, I'll make an exception. Grist reports that the new (and seventh) book in the Harry Potter series is going green.

Is Draco Malfoy green with envy, or is it just the paper he's printed on? With only 121 days until the last Harry Potter book hits the shelves (not that we're counting), U.S. publisher Scholastic has partnered with the Rainforest Alliance to green up Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The 784-page book will have a first printing of 12 million copies in the U.S., and nearly two-thirds of the 16,700 tons of paper used will be certified by the Forest Stewardship Council as coming from sustainable timber.
