Does First “Green” Bible Signify Broader Shift Toward Environmentally Conscious Publishing? A Q&A with Green Press Initiative Director Tyson Miller
Extra: Beyond religious publishers, what should all publishers take away from the news that the sixth-largest trade publisher in the United States is printing their most important title with consideration of its impact on the environment?
Miller: Many publishers already get it. In fact, there are nearly 150 in the United States with strong environmental policies now in place. The message for those that are still debating or procrastinating is, “Civilization as we know it will only prosper if we move beyond the profit—only understanding and taking real and meaningful steps to improve our impacts––and this applies to everyone, from citizens to corporations, book publishers to auto makers.” For those that haven’t acted, I encourage them to realize that the small things add up and to join their peer companies in shifting an industry in the right direction.
