It is being reported that J.K.Rowling has blocked printing of the Finnish translation of Deathly Hallows as the local paper used 'lacks the ecological FSC certification'. Quote:
"Finnish paper has labels, but not the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)" certificate that Rowling has requested, Sinikka Partanen, a spokewoman for the Tammi publishing house, told AFP.
"The first (Harry Potter) books in Finnish were printed on recycled paper. This time it's a more specific demand," Partanen said.
Quote:
"The availability of FSC products in Finland is still very poor. We use mainly the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes, but we do promote sustainable forestry. We also try to promote FSC," Antti Otsamo of the Finnish Federation of Forest Industries said.
The translation will be released March 7th. | |

am glad jkr is sort of particular abt these matters. i mean,if she let one HP publication hse get away w. her 'environmental friendly' paper then all the publica. hses would do d same.

This shows you never know what to expect next.
But I am glad she puts her foot down when it comes to issues like these.
Good work Jo.

I bet that the Finnish will be disappointed but we've got to save the trees, don't we?  *hugs Jo*

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

This seems a bit over the top to me.
Sure I am as ecologically minded as most other people but is this really necessary ?
I would like to know what Rowlings Carbin Footprint is with all the travelling she does by plane. And what does she do to offset all that if the ecology is so close to her heart ????
