Friday, November 7th, 2008

As of November 2008,

Trees

Renting books, rather than purchasing, helps lower the number of trees cut down each year for virgin paper. BookSwim also plants trees for every gift card we sell.

Cab

As a combination of these efforts, BookSwim has planted or otherwise saved enough trees to reduce 10 TONS of carbon emissions! That’s like taking 14,000 cars - all the yellow taxicabs in New York City - off the street…

…enough cars to fill a parking lot the size of152 football fields!

Sun
BookSwim books have traveled over 360 million miles.

That’s like going to the sun and back…TWICE!

Gas

BookSwim has shipped over 100,000 books! Just imagine how many gallons of gasoline that’s saved!

BookSwim members have a total of $1,432,183.75 worth of books in their rental pools. That’s money they’ll never spend!
