What about all the books about trees, eh ? They weren’t complaining then, were they. One rule for one etc etc.

Yes 'Save The Trees' and let them Live. Not only for the health of our planet but also for their own soul's evolution.This may sound like I'm a quack but l assure you that the tree's are also evolutionary soul's just like ourselves and the animal kingdom.Their not just dull wood.

Absolutely! Working in a library makes me feel bad sometimes. we have to replace hundreds of copies at a time

the outlawing of plastic bags doesn't help either now that all grocery stores are returning to paper bags. more trees that ever are being harvested for consumerism.

You're doing your bit by not printing that dreadful rag any more 👍

What's a book?
