Sustainable Efforts

The Bookstore is committed to the environment by supporting products and processes that support environmental responsibility.

Say "No" to Plastic

Customers requesting the option of "no bag" will receive a token to place in a canister to support environmental organizations.  For each token collected between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010, the Bookstore will make donations to Fish Point Wildlife Association, Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge and the Chippewa Nature Center.  Since the program began in 2008, plastic bag consumption has been reduced by 25%.

World of Good®

World of Good® is an award-winning fair trade organization with a vision to alleviate poverty by harnessing commerce as a force for good.  Products are sourced from a global network of more than 6,000 artisans in 34 countries.  Products that are fair trade mean that the person who made it:

• Received a fair wage
• Worked in a clean and safe environment
• Supported small scale manufacturing rather than large factory production
• Promoted the use of locally harvested and often sustainable raw materials
• Benefited from additional social services like education or health

The Bookstore is please to offer a selection of items from the World of Good product line.  Stop by and check it out.
