Listen "11: Books or eReaders: What's Better for the Environment? "

Episode Synopsis

We've all heard the argument that electronic materials are better than printed, but how does that stack up to the research? We dive deep into the numbers to finally put this question to bed: What's better for the environment, printed books, or eReaders?

We consulted a lot of different sources for this episode, so here are a few of those articles and papers:
