We are actively engaged in sourcing environmental books for high schools in Zimbabwe and Ghana. Our inaugural initiative procured 60 books encompassing 34 unique titles for Usap Community School in Zimbabwe. You can read more here.
This diverse selection includes fiction, non-fiction, and poetry predominantly authored by BIPOC writers, catering to BIPOC communities, African authors, and the African diaspora. These students must have access to literature that reflects their identities and cultural heritage, particularly considering the underrepresentation of BIPOC authors in environmental literature.
Opting for second-hand books is not only economical but also sustainable. According to ThriftBooks, 1.4 tons of books can conserve 24 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 4,100 kilowatts of electricity, and reduce 60 pounds of air pollution.
If you possess any of these titles, we encourage you to donate them. Alternatively, you can purchase these titles at a discounted rate from platforms like Amazon, eBay, or ThriftBooks. Upon registration via this link, kindly dispatch the books to the following address:
