After complaints from Greenpeace and other environmental groups concerning the enormous print runs for the "Harry Potter" books, Scholastic has announced changes in the recycled content of the materials used to print Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, reports CNN. Scholastic has been working with the Rainforest Alliance, a business-oriented conservation group.
The book, which checks in at 784 pages, will contain no less than 30% post-consumer waste fiber, with a special edition print-run of 100,000 copies with 100% post-consumer waste fiber. Additionally, the bulk of the paper used for the books will be approved by the Forest Stewardship Council. Greenpeace released a statement praising the decision, which they say is per the wihes of the author, J.K. Rowling.

I'm pleased that this is happening, but why must groups always target Harry Potter? It isn't as though those books will be bought and cast aside--miliions will buy them and love them. I'd be more inclined to complain about the millions of low-quality books bought by large chains, sold for a pittance, and thrown away once they've fallen apart.
