Congratulations to Better World Books, an online book retailer that recently won the WasteWise Gold Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Better World Books collects and sells new and used books online, then donates a portion of each sale to help literacy initiatives worldwide. Books that cannot be re-sold or re-used are recycled. To date, the company has successfully diverted more than 32 million books from landfills! In the process, it has also raised $7.6 million in funding for literacy and education initiatives worldwide through the sale of those books.
Every book purchased on BetterWorldBooks.com funds a global literacy through its non-profit literacy partners, including the National Center for Family Literacy, Books for Africa, Room to Read, Worldfund, and Invisible Children. The company benefits nearly 100 additional non-profit organizations every year.
Way to go, Better World Books!
