If your household is anything like the Ape household, books are one area in which you find it difficult, nay, impossible, to minimize or economize. But there are ways to make your habit greener, as laid out by The Greenest Dollar:

"If you’ve started feeling painfully guilty every time you buy a new book (all those trees!), or you’re looking for thrifty ways to save money when it comes to your reading habit, then you’re in luck. I’ve got some suggestions on how you can make your book obsession a bit more eco-friendly."

Greenest Dollar looks at Swap Sites, which partners people to swap books they're through with, free book downloads, and the shiny new contraption known as Kindle.

Of course, one mustn't forget the joys of browsing through secondhand bookstores like the fabled Strand of New York, not to mention the dear old Public Library when feeding the reading habit.
