| | |  J.K. Rowling wins Order of the Forests award (UPDATED)
Author J.K. Rowling has received the Order of the Forest award in recognition of her efforts to save forests in Canada and around the globe! It was presented to her before her final Open Book Tour visit in Toronto, Canada.
J.K. Rowling is the first international author to receive the honor. Quote:
“JK Rowling asked her international publishers to find paper that was free of ancient or endangered forests. With millions of her books now printed on ‘green’ paper, she’s helped take the heat off of carbon and biodiversity storehouses like Canada’s Boreal Forest,” said Nicole Rycroft, executive director of Vancouver-based Markets Initiative. Markets Initiative began working with Rowling’s Canadian publisher in 2000, Rowling in 2003, and with hundreds of publishers and paper mills since to turn other books ‘green’. The last book in the Potter series is considered within the industry to be the most environmentally friendly in publishing history. Sixteen countries are now printing the book on eco-friendly paper up from one publisher, Canada’s Raincoast Books, in 2003.
Congratulations! UPDATE: Thanks to UHP we have some pictures of Jo accepting this award in Toronto which can be viewed here.  UPDATE #2: A video of Jo at the presentation can be seen here.  | |
