Swaptree and Save a Tree

I’ve used Swaptree and liked it, but I’m a big fan of Paperbackswap.com. Rather than having to do a 1:1 direct trade, you send out books to people to get credits that you can then spend on other books. I find it much more flexible.

This sounds like a cool website that I’ll have to check out. The site mentioned by Brenda does sound a little better though. I am not completely sold on the eco benefits of this. Sure you are reusing and cutting down on consumption of new products, but you are also polluting by shipping goods across the country. I guess you could argue that the new book or dvd would have to be shipped as well. Still I think the local salvation army or a local swap meet is a greener option.

I like the idea of swapping a tree by a ratio of 1:5. You cut 1 tree, you replace it 5 times.
