Does First “Green” Bible Signify Broader Shift Toward Environmentally Conscious Publishing? A Q&A with Green Press Initiative Director Tyson Miller
“We’re still waiting for a major house to get behind it in a public way,” Miller says of the Treatise. “We think that’s in the works, and those houses that have strong policies in place or in development are fairly consistent with what the Treatise is calling for.”
Extra: What does the publication of Thomas Nelson’s green Bible signify to the industry?
Tyson Miller: The Bible is one of the most widely distributed, oldest and best-known books in history. So, for me, the fact that a version is now being produced on FSC [Forest Stewardship Council]-certified and recycled paper is a sign that confirms the major shifts that are occurring right now within the book industry at large, from small to large publishers, and from paper mills to printers.
