Need a book?

Next time you're in need of a book, consider searching for it at BetterWorld.com.

I came across BetterWorld.com when I was searching for some textbooks on campusi.com. BetterWorld has consistently competitive prices and a huge selection of both new and used books. The best part? Their environmental and social commitments.

Environmentally, they offer "an e-commerce first: the Carbon Neutral Shopping Cart. Working with Carbonfund.org, the leading non-profit provider of carbon offsets, we collect a few cents from every customer at checkout. And since we sell a lot of books, it’s enough to offset our shipping as well as the shipping of our literacy partners, keeping tons of carbon out of the atmosphere in the fight against global warming." [Quoted from here.]

They also support over 80 literacy foundations, a pretty applicable thing for a bookseller to do. Their primary programs are Room to Read, Books for Africa, Worldfund, and National Center for Family Literacy.
