We’re mad about saving the planet, that’s why every eBook you purchase from our store here at Kortext, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to One Tree Planted.
One Tree Planted is a non-profit organisation, planting trees across Africa, Asia, North and Latin America. We’ve chosen to support their projects, helping restore areas that have suffered floods and forest fires while also helping to fight climate change, clean our air and reduce CO2 emissions.
In shopping with us you’ll be supporting small communities, creating jobs on a local scale in remote, less economically developed areas, as well as protecting different species of animals and their habitats.
Are you aware of the impact books are having on the environment?
Paper is responsible for almost 75% of the publishing industry’s carbon footprint, and when you add paper mills’ annual water usage of 153 billion gallons, things start to look pretty scary.
The inking of books also releases harmful chemicals such as toluene and xylene, and customers driving to bookstores to pick up a copy of their favourite author’s latest work are contributing to unnecessary levels of pollution. These two harmful contributing factors are mitigated with the use of eTextbooks on devices many already own.
Saving the planet doesn’t just start with the planting of a tree — that’s just a plus
Zero trees and no unnecessary resources were used in the creation of the eTextbooks we sell, so you can study knowing you’ve contributed to the preservation of our planet and its forestation. #studygreen
With our donations to One Tree Planted, we’re going a step further, not only preserving trees with our digital textbooks but planting them at the same time.
Save the planet and save your money
Not only are you saving the planet by buying eBooks, but your bank balance, too. EBooks are generally 50–60% cheaper than their print alternatives due to costs being eliminated, such as those incurred from inking, transportation and printing.
We know you want to contribute to the healing of our environment, and now you can when you buy the eTextbooks you need for your studies from our store.
With your help, saving the planet has never been so simple; buy an eBook, plant a tree and save money!
