GREEN BY NAME, GREEN BY NATURE: All our recent books (where the publisher is listed as ‘Green Books’) are printed on FSC or recycled paper. All the printers we currently use are within 150 miles as the crow flies from our offices in Devon, and they use vegetable–based inks. We don’t print overseas, thus reducing ‘book miles’ and our carbon footprint.
The Directors of Green Books are Satish Kumar (Chairman), Michael Holloway, Michael Bennie, Kay Dunbar, Rob Hopkins and John Elford (Managing Director).
Besides our own books, we distribute selected titles from Chelsea Green Publishing Company of White River Junction, Vermont, who publish in similar fields, and also a small number of titles from other publishers.
