One million Canadian students use a lot of textbooks every year. Printing all those textbooks uses a lot of paper. A lot of trees are harvested to produce all of that paper. After the textbooks become outdated, all that paper ends up taking up space on someone’s bookshelf or in the landfill.
Renting textbooks helps to reduce both clutter and waste. By renting textbooks, Canadian students use one textbook several times instead of using multiple copies to satisfy the same need, which saves numerous trees.
Big Mama has partnered with Tree Canada to plant a tree with every textbook rented to help reverse the environmental impact of the destruction of millions of trees to produce textbooks.
