Second-hand books: a sustainable solution
Choosing second-hand books is an excellent way to extend their lifespan and reduce environmental impact. Often in great condition, they let you enjoy literature while embracing responsible consumption.
Where to find them:
- Second-hand bookshops and book markets.
- Specialised online platforms such as Recyclivre or Momox.
- Peer-to-peer exchanges via local groups or community book boxes.
E-books: a zero-paper alternative
E-books offer an eco-friendly option by eliminating paper consumption. With an e-reader or a phone app, you can carry an entire library wherever you go.
For comfortable reading even in the dark, the Lizia lamp is a valuable ally. It lights your book without disturbing others, doubles as a bookmark, and makes one-handed holding easier.
Libraries and local initiatives
Libraries play a key role in eco-responsible reading. By borrowing rather than buying, you support more sustainable consumption. Consider using community book boxes to give your books a second life.
To enjoy borrowed reads in any situation, use Lizia, the 3-in-1 reading lamp. It’s ideal for reading in the dark or outdoors and makes handling the book easier.
Choose committed publishers
More and more publishers are adopting eco-friendly practices, using recycled paper or sustainable inks. By supporting them, you encourage the book industry to move toward greener standards.
