Barefoot Books are Eco-friendly

In case you haven't yet read this upon the Barefoot Books site:

All of the paper that we use in our books is ancient forest friendly. As the name suggests, this means that we only use paper provided by responsible suppliers running well managed forests who do not destroy ancient trees in the process of making paper.

Further, the felled timber is not replaced with an inappropriate fast-growing species (such as pine, which is unsuitable for high quality paper production on reaching maturity) but with a similar species which is given time to mature before being felled for further paper production.

All of the ink that we use is vegetable or soy based (as opposed to oil based) and our laminates and adhesives are water based (as opposed to solvent based).

Isn't that good to know?
