It sounds great - cheap books about environmental topics, a way to declutter your shelves, the chance to spread environmental ideas to new people, and support the work of Friends of the Earth, all in one place. Brilliant.

Hi Melanie,
Great post, but your Bargain Basement link doesn't appear to working?
I'll certainly be checking this out via my Favourites later!
Thanks vp. How did that happen? Anyway it's fixed now. I'm always glad to hear about any broken links in Bean Sprouts so I can fix them as soon as possible.
great idea mel, thanks for posting about it
But that would mean no longer having the books! They're mine, I tell you, all mine.
Great Idea,some people just throw book out with out a though of passing them on, Freecycle,recycle or charity shops!There are so many on low incomes that would love to have a selection of books but at full price they can be so expensive!You have a great blog Melanie I enjoy popping over for a visit!Love from Kathyann and the girls at meg's mum's muffins
Thanks for sharing this link with us - I'll definetely go and have alook.
Along the same lines of book recycling, you probably know about the second hand bookshop Greenmetropolis ? For each book bought online they give a small amount of money to the Woodland Trust, therefore saving existing trees and planting out new ones!
