The Kindle is Eco-Friendly!

Unknown to many, the Kindle has some eco-friendly features. To most, it is an alternative reading device but apparently this new gadget that has been adored by millions seems to be providing its part of environmental contributions in terms of energy consumption and materials.

The Kindle can produce a potential savings of 1,074 kg of CO2 if it replaces three books a month for four years or a whopping 26,098 kg of CO2 when used to its fullest capacity.

The Kindle can still break even if it replaces 22.5 books over its lifespan, although its impact can turn to a negative if folks continue to buy books and print periodicals in addition to e-books and don’t recycle them. But that would eventually depend on a person’s needs and wants.
