The last book in the Harry Potter series – hefty as it was – also was the most environmentally friendly book in publishing history.  And it started with work by former elite level athlete Nicole Rycroft to transform unsustainable supply chains for products made from trees.

Sixteen countries printed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on eco-friendly paper, saving 197,685 trees (2.5 times the size of New York’s Central Park) and 7.9 million kg of greenhouse gases (the equivalent of taking 1,577 cars off the road).
