What's a "green" book?
ReplyDeleteA "green" book can be two things! First, it might be a book made from 100% post-consumer material (recycled paper). OR... it may be any kind of book about the environment!
ReplyDeleteSome books you may discover about "going green" ARE made from recycled materials, so that book would be green in two ways!
But I think that any kind of book that educates the reader about animals, plants, science, pollution or is a green book to me!
