The Merits of Hand Marking in the Modern Era

Realizing You’re Part of the Problem: E-Waste

The books I read for work and pleasure are almost always downloaded onto my phone either as EPUB files or as audiobooks.

Exploring Environmentally Friendly Paper

In 2008, J. K. Rowling refused to allow a Finnish publisher, Tammi, to print Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows because the paper they used was not Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. Although Tammi printed the Harry Potter series on recycled paper, Rowling wanted even more environmentally friendly paper at that time.
