Recycling Textbooks – Greenbeaver's book drive results!

Last spring Greenbeaver held a book drive on campus to recycle textbooks. The books were sent to Better World Books, who then donated the books and funds to Books for Africa (the organization we chose to receive our donations). Better World Books had a record-setting drive to support global literacy.

Check out the impact we have contributed to, through BWB:

• More than $1.9 million for Books for Africa


• $340,000+ for Room to Read


• $440,000+ for the National Center for Family Literacy


• $111,000+ for Worldfund


• $572,000+ for additional literacy partners


• Diverted over 25 million pounds of books from landfills


• 7,700 tons of carbon offset on BetterWorldBooks.com sales

Better World Books buys and sells used books. To thank us for our contribution, they are offering a limited-time 10% additional discount on your textbook purchases; just copy and paste this code at checkout: TEXTBOOKS09.

Greenbeaver will be hosting another book drive during fall semester at BVU. Watch for information to be posted soon! If you belong to a campus organization, you can host a book drive for your campus, not only to support recycling and global literacy, but to earn a little money as well. BWB donates money back to your campus organization for every book donated. If you want more information, check out Better World Books
