Rainforest-Safe Book Database
Earlier this year, Rainforest Action Network found out that some kids’ books are being printed on paper that comes from rainforest destruction – even kids’ books about rainforests! They did some research and started a database of books that are “rainforest-safe.” In other words, it’s a database of books that are printed on post-consumer recycled, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified or recycled paper, and aren’t contributing to the loss of Indonesia’s or other endangered rainforests.
We made the list! Nereena, the Fairy Queen of Halloween is printed on Sterling Matte 80# 10% PCW, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, and we are proud of it. Browse the database (Search for Nereena, the Fairy Queen of Halloween)
