Abstract
- This article looks at results of the "Environmental Trends and Climate Impacts: Findings From the U.S. Book Industry" survey. According to the study, the cutting of trees accounts for nearly 63% of the industry's carbon footprint, while paper production and printing accounts for 26.6%. In all, it is estimated that the industry produced a carbon dioxide equivalent net emission of about 12.4 million tons in 2006, and a net emission of 8.85 pounds per book sold to consumers.
