I'd but those by the bundle and stick them in the books that are mooched from me. I have to agree with the few others here that don't like putting stickers on books but as with them also I love the idea of planting more tress. I will keep donating points though!

That way they aren't defacing books with a sticker. I too hate to place a sticker on a book. Just an idea! Thank You. Great idea But How about making them Book marks instead of stickers?

The fact that these plantings will take place in Africa, where use of forests for fuel is rapidly destroying many areas and helping the southerly spread of the desert, and Latin America, where logging is taking a toll on tropical forests vital to the planet's health, is a bonus. All trees are precious. Trees in these strategic places are beyond words valuable. I did not see the "comments" section to place my Bookmooch name to get the bonus, but if I don't get it, it's fine. This is a truly worthy cause. Frances I just went and bought 50 stickers (because I read so much) and it only cost $47, so I get a few extra trees planted!

I stuck them on the mailing envelopes. Maybe the postmen or women will read and help too! Liked Angela's idea, think I'll send a sticker with book and put them on the envelopes too.

Seeing the Spanish and Latino moochers number is still growing, I'd like you to consider the eventual adding of charities caring the environment in our region, who, some of them, do the same work. Anything you could add to the Español area, please contact me. Thank you for making my Internet human. You're inspiration for many of us. Peace, Ara aka Erein Dear John,

Brian - these trees are planted to stay and live happily ever after! We're working with planting partners that were chosen not just because of their know-how in planting trees, but also due to their commitment to manage and monitor the planting areas afterwards. In most cases they employ local workers who work with the local communities and are also responsible for following-up, monitoring and evaluating the planting sites. Bottom line: these trees won't be cut down. For more information on our planting partners please check their page on our website - http://www.ecolibris.net/partners.asp, as well as their websites (links can be found on this page). Karl - when the trees eventually die in a forest, they will release carbon. However we hope to reach in these planting areas a sustainable natural regeneration which will result in a forest that remains a carbon sink absorbing and storing more carbon the it emits. In any case, the trees we plant have many more benefits to the environment and the local communities, besides being carbon sinks (see our benefits page - http://www.ecolibris.net/benefits.asp). Tina - As I mentioned already here, we use only recycled paper throughout our operation. Our stickers are made from 30% post-consumer waste (PCW) and 70% pre-consumer waste, and they are printed with non-toxic ink. The envelope and the thank you letter, which you receive with the stickers, are made of 100% post-consumer waste. Thanks again to everyone for the relevant questions.
