Online Book Shopping Goes Greener with Biblio.com?s New ecosend Program

Asheville, NC (PRWEB) October 8, 2007 -- Biblio.com (www.biblio.com), one of the world's leading marketplaces for new, used, and rare books, announced today that it has launched a program to offset the carbon emissions of the shipment of every book sold through its site, making it the first major book marketplace in the world to become carbon neutral.

The new program is called " ecosend (www.biblio.com/ecosend) ". It is being launched in partnership with NativeEnergy (www.nativeenergy.com), a privately held Native American renewable energy company, and will provide funding for wind turbines and farm methane energy projects in Native American communities and on family farms throughout the U.S. These projects not only provide clean, renewable energy but also play an important role in sustainable economic development for tribal communities and farm families.

?We did extensive research to find the best carbon offset partner we could. NativeEnergy's commitment to projects that provide both verifiable CO2 reductions and sustainable economic benefits for communities in need was compelling,? commented Allen Singleton, Biblio.com Chief Operating Officer.

NativeEnergy has extensive partnerships with leading environmentally responsible businesses, including Mohawk Paper, Stonyfield Farm, Clif Bar, and Ben & Jerry's. ?Others are sure to follow Biblio.com?s lead, reduce their environmental impact first, and then offset their remaining carbon footprints with high quality carbon offsets from new projects they actually help to get built,? says NativeEnergy president & CEO, Tom Boucher.

In addition to offsetting the carbon impact of each shipment, Biblio.com will also offset all of its business operations, including power consumption on server equipment, business travel, and employee commuting. ?While we view carbon offsets as a part of an overall strategy to ensure that our business does not harm the environment and the climate,? says Biblio.com CEO Brendan Sherar, ?we also recognize that reducing our carbon footprint is far more important than offsetting.?

Understanding their carbon footprints encourages consumers to change their behavior and reduce carbon emissions. By making available over 50 million used books from independent booksellers worldwide, Biblio.com plays a vital role in facilitating the sale, purchase and resale of used books. The Green Press Initiative calculates that the US book publishing industry consumes 20 million trees per year.

Sherar notes that, ?used books have always been a natural fit for our core values, since they represent an ideal example of re-using and recycling. We hope that our new program will serve as an inspiration to others in the book industry to take climate change seriously and find ways they can invest in the planet's future.?
