Judith and Christopher Plant have grown their dedication to making the world a better place into a successful publishing company – New Society Publishers. Years of walking their talk and publishing practical guides for positive social and environmental change has brought them resounding respect from the sustainability and publishing communities.
New Society is the first North American publishing company to become carbon neutral:
“In summer of 2001, New Society committed to publishing all of its forthcoming regular books on acid-free paper that is 100% old growth forest-free (100% post-consumer recycled), processed chlorine free, and printed with vegetable based, low VOC inks.”
~ New Society website – About New Society / Walking the Talk
Their catalogue – searchable online by title, author, or topic – is filled with encouraging wisdom on a wide rage of topics, from gardening, building, cooking, and sustainable energy to transportation, childrearing, and intentional communities. New Society’s books can be found in bookstores all over the world or may be ordered via their website.
“Ecological sustainability and social justice remain the deep fabric of human habitation on this planet.”
~ Christopher and Judith Plant, in a Future Perfect Publishing interview
