ABA at Inaugural Meeting of Book Industry Environmental Council

Last week, the American Booksellers Association continued its environmental efforts on behalf of member booksellers by participating in the Book Industry Environmental Council's first meeting.

The meeting on June 11 at Random House's offices in New York City brought together representatives from a number of publishing houses, paper manufacturers and distributors, the Book Industry Study Group, the Green Press Initiative, and others to explore way in which the book industry can become more environmentally responsible. ABA was represented at the meeting by Education Coordinator Lisa Winn.

Future meetings are planned.
