A Genuinely Good Idea

Good Idea #1: An online bookstore that donates to literacy funds world wide and offsets the environmental cost of shipping your books to you by donating to Carbonfund.org! I'm not kidding! Check this out: http://www.betterworld.com/

Please. Please buy your books here first.

[EDIT: Did I mention that they ship free in the U.S. and ship anywhere ( Read more... )

Fantastic! Me too--for SURE.

Isn't it the best thing since like, string cheese? God, I love these people.

Wow, fantastic bookshop! xxasimont February 16 2008, 08:40:45 UTC

Hi, and thanks SO much for that link to the bookshop. It's a fantastic idea, especially given that I rarely buy new books in AUstralia because it's actually cheaper to buy them in the USA and have them shipped here (your books are THAT much cheaper). Definitely going to have a good look there, especially given that I've just started doing a BA in Indigenous studies, and it's by correspondence and online, so I have limited access to a uni library.
