I personally feel even a little adjustment in any company can make a big difference to the current environment situation. Its good to see companies getting more environmentally concious.

It's important to have positive news on the environmental front and proof that industries can successfully transition to more sustainable practices. Just to clarify, we went with the measure of market-share because we felt it was more representative of the overall transition of the industry. There are thousands of publishers out there, many of which are very small, and if you look at the number of publishers with policies vs number of total publishers, its a small percentage, but that doesn't represent the fact that 50% of books sold in the U.S. are coming from publishers with environmental policies and specific goals for reducing their environmental impact. That is the big picture that will hopefully be a tipping point that motivates the rest of the big publishers and the industry as a whole to start making these changes.
