A quote to begin 💭

Where do your books end up? | Digital Edition 📚
We’ve been thinking a lot about the life cycle of a book — not just what it teaches us, but where it goes after we’ve turned the last page. In a world of intentional living, even our books have journeys.
We love that we have digital options for our beloved books such as the Kindle products. But how do you sustainably dispose of these devices when they become old, unusable, or you want an update? Here are some ways to do it.
Protect your privacy - start by deregistering your Kindle through your Amazon account. Look for the Devices tab under your account settings. Next, perform a factory reset on the device itself to erase all personal data.
Dispose mindfully - use Amazon’s trade-in program if your device is eligible and get a gift card in return OR get a free shipping label from Amazon’s recycling site and send your old Kindle for recycling.
Another option is to use a non-Amazon service like Earth911 or a local recycling facility (Google these for your locality).
If you’re living in NYC like we are, there are SAFE Disposal Events coming up and Community E-Waste and Textile Events for everything from your Kindle to your iPad to clothing.

Whichever option you choose, please don’t put it in the trash. The batteries contain hazardous material which is bad for the environment and unsafe for the people who live around landfills where your regular trash ultimately ends up.
Your favorite reads deserve better than that.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Sustainable Market Makers event!
It was a pleasure meeting you all—we loved all the conversations we had from discussing design elements and accessibility out in the world to answering job seeker questions to hearing about the social impact work folks are passionate about. We’re inspired by the work you're doing and wish you continued success in your sustainability efforts.Unfortunately, we had to cancel our October 9th event at Fabrik. We will keep you posted on future events and updates! We appreciate your understanding.
Until next time… 🤗
