How Better World Books Earned the Choicemob
The choicemob stands for Fairness, Compassion, and Respect for the Earth. Better World Books has wrapped that ethos in a business.
The two key elements of BWB’s social impact:
1 - Funding Literacy Around the World - Better World Books has given $4 million to select non-profits for literacy programs globally and here in the US, and $3.5 million to libraries and book-oriented thrift shops. Literacy and education are two enormous challenges facing our world, and BWB is at the forefront of our collective answer.
2 - Saving Books from Landfills - Millions of books are thrown away each year, wasting natural resources and fueling unnecessary consumerism. BWB has saved over 30,000,000 (30 million) books from landfills, honoring their value as idea-carriers, and preserving our planet.
Moreover, BWB treats employees well and buys carbon offsets for all shipping.
And BWB is great for consumers who want a books at a discount, offering used books for great prices and free shipping anywhere in the US. Plus, books make great gifts, and ‘tis the season.
Win. Win. Win. Choicemob.
