				<p><strong>HA!</strong></p><p>Isn't it funny that "Harry Potter's Lasting Legacy" is the amount of waste/pollution/clearcutting avoided?! &nbsp;How silly. &nbsp;So HP is efficient: who cares? &nbsp;Reducing is not inherently good. &nbsp;If you're driving 100 mph toward Canada, but suddenly realize that you should be going to Mexico, it's not going to help you to slow down to 20 mph. &nbsp;Efficiency means nothing when HP is still responsible for the loss of a <strong>great</strong> number of trees (which should be sequestering carbon right now instead of sitting on bookshelves...). &nbsp;</p><p>
And, how long will the books she IS printing last, and what landfills will they go to when they are at their end? &nbsp;How many millions of books are out there, waiting to be someday thrown away?</p><p>
(By the way, I'm a Harry Potter fanatic. &nbsp;I'm buying the book instead of waiting for a library copy to free up, even though I don't approve of it. &nbsp;There. &nbsp;Now you can't call me a hypocrite because I just did! &nbsp;Expelliarmus!)</p>

				<p><strong>By the way...</strong></p><p>It turns out the greenest book of all time was written by myself. &nbsp;It has not been published, nor will it ever be - in fact, it only exists in electronic form. &nbsp;By keeping it from being published, I've essentially &nbsp;saved an infinite amount of resources that could've been used to print and distribute it. &nbsp;So there. &nbsp;I win. &nbsp;Greenest book of all time.</p>

				<p><strong>Is this the U.S. edition, too?</strong></p><p>The last couple Canadian editions were published on recycled paper, but the US ones weren't. So do we still have to invade Canada to get this eco-friendlier paper?</p>

				<p><strong>of course you could argue...<p>That sitting on shelves has effectively sequestered the carbon - free from the nasty threat of forest fires even.
