American Potter fans urged to buy recycled books

Harry Potter fans in the US are being urged to buy the sixth book, Harry Potter and the half-blooded Prince from Canada, where it is being printed on recycled paper.

According to The BBC, the book will be published worldwide on 16 July, with a recycled version issued by Canadian publisher Raincoast Books.

Vancouver conservation group Markets Initiative urged fans to buy the book online from Raincoast Books, which also published a recycled version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

"Scholastic has failed to really meaningfully step forward to have Harry printed on the most environmentally friendly paper that it can be," Markets Initiative spokeswoman Nicole Rycroft was quoted as saying. — ANI
