Textbooks Rentals=Saving Money & Planting a Tree!

Last night I was frantically surfing the web and trying to find an online website or those webistes which promises you a discount on your textbooks. I, like every other college student, despise paying these high-fees textbooks. Especially, when you know when you try to sell it back to them( the colleges & universities) all you get is a small fraction of what you actually paid. Nonetheless, my search was not in vain. The old addage is true, "...seek and you wil find." And I did find!

I have to pause a minute and admit that out of all the sites I saw and visited, this was the only site I saw doing this: Renting Textbooks. Up to that point, I have never heard nor seen such a thing. I have heard of rental cars and Rent-a-Center but not renting textbooks. However, what make this website unique is not the concept of renting your textbooks. The uniqueness is twofold:

1) You actually save a significant amount of money on your textbooks:

Ex.:
I paid $60 for a $125 textbook I would have paid, full price, at my university's book store.

2) The website is "Eco-Friendly":

Ex:
For every textbook a student rents out for his/her semester, a tree is planted on his/her
behalf in an effort to save our forests, worldwide, and reduce the breakdown of our
atmosphere from the hazardous methane found in our landfills from papers; mostly being made up of textbooks papers.

Finally, I hope anyone and everyone who reads this blog and goes to college or a universtity will take this fact into consideration and do their part; howbeit small, to get his/her education, to not just save money on textbooks but, and most importantly, to save our Planet Earth.
