| | | Deathly Hallows cover to be "green"
The Haverhill Paperboard, in Bradford, Massachusetts, turns recycled paper into book covers, specifically the one for Deathly Hallows, however it appears people are not recycling enough newspapers and computer paper to keep up with the demand. Quote:
"We're struggling to get 250 tons of that a day in here to keep us going," Chappell said of the drop in local recycling, which contributes a portion of that daily.
Joseph Michaud, Haverhill Paperboard's vice president of marketing service, said his company is not the exclusive supplier of Harry Potter book covers, but "a big portion will be ours," he said.
So, if you want book 7, get recycling! It not only benefits the environment, but fandom as well!
Thanks to TLC for the report.
