From an environmental point of view, the introduction of electronic ink technology used in construction, educational programs, library facilities, businesses, and offers a safe scenario with benefits in all angles. Green reduced the reading of literary individual carbon footprint of human interaction and interdependence in the world living together in a favorable level. The traditional reading of an increase the cost of so many levels, including production, storage, transportation and disposal. Not only must the cost of production and maintenance work, but you should include the abolition of the books, if they do not want to.
Electronic books as an alternative to paper books
Until recently, e-books are only a temporary alternative to paper books. Moreover, the creation of e-books are another aspect to improve the digital divide and the need to involve more people more quickly. However, on the other hand, the way to write a book faster than anticipated, in print, e-books, was not originally have been used as a replacement copy, whether on paper or cover versions of the full hard.
This change, as the authors begin the book version of his books. Perhaps one of the best known of these authors is Stephen King, who recently agreed to the book version of its latest publication, "Riding the bullet". "His only novel, worked with great success, and paved the way for the development of other books to follow. In one novel, novel, magazine, newspaper, or children's stories, you can only read e-books, the election is simple. The use of e-book reader is a general matter of time. After the digital reader, these changes are for both man and nature are immense, and large, and certainly should be punished.
Benefits of Green Reading: storage and disposal
After the storage and disposal of electronic books that are more environmentally sound storage and disposal of the books, the environment is of great benefit, the integration of electronic books in their daily lives. Landfills are not only growing at an alarming rate lower, but the trees are cut less frequently than is necessary for the paper.
World forests will continue to grow, while providing clean oxygenated air. Although these forests grow, if they have permission to timber, the result is not as good as it was in the forest was allowed to develop. Studies have shown that older, the forest received as much carbon as their younger colleagues. Thus, the environment is better than human interaction, as amended by the responsible use of their resources.
There are also other advantages, particularly in the production of traditional ink on paper, books. Not only the use of e-books is necessary for the manufacture of ink, paper and binding, but also reduces the pollution associated with these activities. In addition, e-books easier to reduce the financial costs and transportation, as compared with traditional books.
Data on the production of newsprint and books
According to the press-Green initiative of the United States is responsible for more than twenty million trees for the production of books a year, and this figure does not take into account the estimated 95 million trees that will be affected by the news paper industry each year. As the reader grows in popularity, it is expected that these figures will be significantly reduced.
Green Press Initiative also stated that landfills are a large number of paper products worth about one quarter of the landfill contents. As if all this space, not bad, decomposition of paper produces a greenhouse gas, highly toxic gases such as methane, are known. This is not only the production of paper and carbon dioxide emissions in the production process, but also methane, which is in a state of decomposition. These facts are clearly a better world, in the production of electronic books in the world.
Harry Potter series of books, one of the most popular series ever made by children and adults alike are expected to reach a total of 290,000 tons of paper in the production of over 370,000 million is estimated book Prime View Inrternational. At a price of 20 trees for the production of one ton of paper used for the production of books, this is the high cost of 5.8 million trees.
According to the US - the book industry study, more than 12.4 million tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere on an annual basis in the mass production of books in print. This reduction of almost 9 pounds for every pound of carbon is produced. By the way of carbon footprints in the world! Despite the fact that major changes such as increased use of recycled paper is held, can not be compared with the benefits that e-books and e-book reader can.
According to the press-Green initiative, many of the world's forests are under threat due to logging is still occurring. In tropical forests, Indonesia has lost about 4.5 million hectares per year to logging, some of them are illegally slaughtered. More than 2 million hectares of boreal forest in Canada each year, with 65% of the document you are reading and writing products. In south-eastern United States, at least 6 million hectares of forest a victim of logging companies, while in the area with 26 million hectares of plantations are known as the largest paper producers in the region of the world.
