Rainforest Safe Reading List

Categories:Paper Forests

Created June 8, 2010; last updated August 31, 2010

We released a list of 24 children’s books that are “rainforest-safe.” All books are printed on post-consumer recycled, FSC certified or recycled paper, allowing parents the assurance of knowing that their childrens’ books are not contributing to the loss of Indonesia’s or other endangered rainforests. The ‘rainforest-safe’ books list demonstrates that the publishing industry can build on the environmental commitments and progress it has already made and ensure kid’s and all books are rainforest safe.
 
Rainforest-safe books are not only possible; they are already being produced. For more information on what makes a book rainforest safe go here. We consider books in the "Environmental Improved" and "Environmental Superior" catagories of the EPN's Paper Steps hierarchy to be rainforest safe.
