After the fall of covid-19, the world has come to a stagnant. People approve of the digital world more than that of the real world. But honestly, this became more the fundamental unit. It all started in the fall of 2019, and now, even in the year 2022, they are adopting digital ways for their lifestyle. Books, although they remained a physical form of interaction and learning, with each passing day, it seems like even in the case of books, people prefer the digital platform. While we have continuously streamed music in digital ways, reading books have also found a way to be in the stratum of digital platform.

And thus, the rise of e-books began. It has seemed to curtail the production of books. While this has not been a piece of very great news for those who enjoy reading printed books, it certainly is great news for those who enjoy reading books online. Our love for printed books might have had an environmental effect, one of the main reasons why more publishers are eco-friendly.

Multiple factors, be small or large, have led to the decline of printing books, thereby resulting in the contribution of the ecological footprint of the book publishing industry. It can also be felt overwhelming at the same time because it is definitely a good thing in the protection against nature. And that is why we are here to provide a certain explanation of where the basic problems lie and how the choice of authors can lead to the protection of nature and the development of an eco-friendly environment.

Thus, when you find any eco-friendly book publishers, praise their attempts and work. And if you want to know about an eco-friendly book publisher, then we would suggest to you Books 33. They are known to be one of the best eco-friendly publishers you will ever come across, along with the best books from the authors. Now, let us get to know about specific reasons why the printing presses are curbing down nature.

Why are the Printing Presses Going Eco-Friendly these Days? 

When we discuss sustainability, we think of our environment as a whole. There are no particular divisions, and so is the printing press. But why is the printing press posing harm to the environment? Let us see:

Reason # 1: Global Phenomenon

As is seen and known that with each passing day, global warming is increasing, and the temperature on the earth is undoubtedly increasing too, which is becoming intolerable for humans and other living creatures to tolerate. Animals are becoming instinct and thus, leading to the decline of nature. But, we humans shouldn’t let that happen to nature, which is why printing presses should be said no to. While the earth needs more trees to be planted, all we are doing is cutting them down for our interest. Every year, millions of trees are cut down due to the making of books, which is not only resulting in deforestation but also in the rise of the global temperature. In this way, it is affecting nature.

Reason # 2: Use of Sustainable Energy 

The printing press is not just about felling down trees, and it is more than that. When something is getting printed in huge numbers, specific energy is needed. Water is necessary too. Electrical power is in most use. And apart from that, the noise produced due to the working of the printing press leads to the increment of noise pollution, which is practical harm to nature. Aren’t these enough for opting for more eco-friendly publishers these days? Well, there are more reasons which can be pointed out apart from noise pollution. The smoke which comes out of the printing press results in air pollution. The carbon monoxide in the air pollutes the air, resulting in the decline of the effective ozone layer. And the decline of the ozone layer is symbolic of one thing, which is the greenhouse effect. Speaking of greenhouses, which brings us to our next point.

Reason # 3: Promotion of Greenhouse Effect

The greenhouse gases are released into the environment while the raw materials are being transported from one place to the other. By this, we mean that when the raw products come to the press, emission of gases take place, and after the products are finished, while they get distributed between manufacturers, distributors, and consumers, it further promotes the emission of greenhouse gases.

While the books are getting shipped, the packing materials are used from plastic and foam, which are harmful to nature. This process also contributes to the emission of greenhouse gases. Now, as we speak of things that are harmful to nature, it brings us to our next point. Let us see.

Reason # 4: Promotion of Wastes 

Previously, we have discussed how the energy is being used in the production of printed books, but we did not discuss what happens when there is an inefficiency in this supply chain. While there is an inefficient work process, it can lead to overproduction. And when there is overproduction of certain titles, it can lead to the manufacture of waste that is not disposable to nature, for an instant. When the books are getting shipped in plastic wrappers or foams, the plastics are often discarded by the people. They get either dumped into certain grounds or in the dustbin garages. But either way, they are harmful to nature and promote non-disposable waste. And it is one of the main reasons why we are finding a rise in the number of eco-friendly publishers these days.

These are enough reasons for a person to choose wisely whether to go for e-reading or reading printed books. But, how do the authors help in the process? Let us read more to find out.

How Can an Author Help in the Procedure of Publishing?

Authors do have a very wide outright knowledge of the happenings of the world. As far as they are concerned about the environmental impact, what is their role in choosing publishers? If a budding writer makes the wise decision about publishing their books, then it can be a whirlwind for their career. By this, we mean that these days, more people are opting for e-reading, so if the author chooses wisely, it can mean that it will boost his career. This is because these days, people prefer e-books over printed books, and you being an author if you choose an eco-friendly publishercan mean that it will help you flourish in your career.

A Quick Wrap-Up! 

While you are at the front foot of every knowledge, it is quite understandable why e-books are not a threat to nature. Why should people prefer e-books over any printed books, and why should they be more inclined towards eco-friendly publishers? And if you are an author, choose wisely. So, here we are suggesting Books 33. We are an eco-friendly publishing company that will help you in the process of publishing your books. You can visit us to learn more about us!

Little Chimpu’s adventure through the jungle wherein she discovers the truth about ferocious Sher Dadu, is a beautiful story about finding friends in the most unlikely of people.

This picture book is such a delight to read. The book is beautifully illustrated with a good story line and strong vocabulary. I liked in this book is using the relations like ‘chachu’, ‘mamu’ and others which the kids are missing due to nuclear family... I must say the author has touched the chord of the heart with the sweet language used in the book..It’s a must read book for all the young kids.

This lovely book teaches you to think smart and not get carried away by appearances. Best wishes to Dr Monica Khanna for her amazing creation.

Dr. Monica Khanna has come out with one more offering for you all. Such a wonderful and endearing story! It takes us to that time of our lives when we believed that everything around us is black or white. Childhood is so much fun and so full of innocence. The characters in this story are so believable, with human-like qualities. Kind, gentle, witty, intelligent, sharp, sly and so on... Each young reader will enjoy reading this story because it is so relatable. You can find people with such qualities all around you.

The well-crafted, colourful illustrations of the enthusiastic musicians among insects – grasshoppers, katydids and hawkmoths, the frogs with their crafty expressions and the thoughtful busy bee, make it a lively read. Woven into the story are the fun facts of each insect, making it educative and inspiring too, thus inculcating the love of nature to early readers.

Katie Bagli’s new book promises to bring back the concert we have missed ever since the pandemic hit us. She beautifully weaves science and fiction, urging her young readers to learn about the techniques used by the wetland musicians - the grasshoppers, the katydids and the hawkmoths. Then there are the subtle values and undertones that make for great learning for children the vacation in nature, the loving aunt, the dutiful bee, or even the love for the garden insects.

Katie Bagli’s stories are filled with wild imagination yet grounded in facts.She brings to life the mundane and often overlooked facts with wit and humour, in her stories, as also in ‘The Insect Concert’. Her characters are driven by a moral so subtle that children may hardly realize the important life values they are imbibing just by reading her books. Her stories are lessons in science and art as each panel bursts into vivacious colours and tickles the imagination of the young reader. Truly delightful and a must read for all.

This book ‘Insect Concert’ by Katie Bagli is another gem from her treasure trove of stories about nature. Through a simple yet novel story, she manages to develop an interest in the animal kingdom and also provide a new learning. There are some activities too which children will enjoy. The illustrations add to the storyline and make the book more interesting for the young reader. I wish Katie more power to her pen.

Through this story, A Wormy Tale, the author Katie Bagli highlights earthworms as a part of the ecosystem. Educators can use this story for crossdisciplinary and interdisciplinary thinking within the national curriculum. Katie’s love for nature is evident in all her books.

To be hired in today’s global marketplace, employers demand more than basic ‘hard’ skills. The difference between a frustrated candidate and a sought-after recruit, the long-term worker and a compelling leader, or the stagnant professional and the rising manager can be the ‘soft’ skills each exercises in the workplace. This highly researched book analyses the job environment of today and for the future where ‘soft’ skills become a more critical attribute. The reader gleans valuable guidance on how to acquire and improve these ‘soft’ skills for a more enriching career.

Alpha Zone book – ‘Sunny Side Up’ - shows the variety of food that is present round the world. All of us know the common pizza or burger but there are many delicious dishes out there that many have not experienced. This book encourages us to be curious and to learn, enjoy and experience the art of the culinary skill.

I’ve absolutely no hesitation in saying that even after working for 30+ years in Manufacturing and Education sectors, I was not able to correlate nonverbal communication skills of a person with his personality and credibility. But after getting in touch with Prof (Dr) Shalini Verma and going through her first book, ‘BODY LANGUAGE: YOUR SUCCESS MANTRA, (2005)’ I immediately fell in love with this beautiful subject and understood that body language is an important personality trait of any person. I am delighted to know that Dr Verma is bringing out a multi-title series of that inspiring book after 15 years, which is surely going to be another ‘hit’ and beneficial for the readers, especially the Gen Z youth, who gravely need the maturity to understand and cope with complex personal & professional relationships to move forward in life.

Children’s literature largely trivialises and glosses over such issues such as gender or colour biases. But this book deals with the sensitive issue of our proclivity or preference for fair skin colour. In the context of the Indian subcontinent, such debates and discussions should be encouraged so that children grow up with a healthy self-image and grow up with the right attitudes that skin colour is secondary to inner beauty. Dr Monica’s sensitive handling of this subject deserves to be applauded. Kudos!

This book talks about the fact that beauty has no standards - it’s the way one looks at one own self. I am sure this book will surely attract young readers. I wish all the best for the book.

Kudos to Books33 for coming up with a separate segment of Children Books under its imprint Alpha Zone. Your initiative will definitely make parents and teachers understand the importance of inculcating reading habits in your kids right from their young age. I appreciate Dr Monica Khanna for her bookSunny Side Up’ and love its ‘kahani mein twist’ which made it all the more exciting.

A lovely rhyming style and delightful words make this book effortlessly readable. Dr Khanna addresses a vital issue of our times in this allegorical tale of female crow.

One may speak good English, bad English, good Hindi, bad Hindi, a mix of Hindi-English or 'Hinglish', Spanglish, Pig-Latin, Gibberish, Mumbling or Double-speak, the sub-text that one's body speaks is just ONE -- CREDIBLE or NOT CREDIBLE! Be aware of your body language. You can lie in your words, but the body never lies. We communicate through our Body all the time, even when we don't realize it. However, there are very few expertswho can deeply understand, analyse and decode Body Language. Dr Shalini Verma is one of them.

Kyra’s Return Flight conveys through a delightful story the very important message that there is great joy and power in accepting ourselves as we are,and not falling prey to harmful social prejudices about what is attractive or good. I greatly recommend this wonderful book about loving oneself!

‘Sunny Side Up’ authored by Dr Monica Khanna is a slice of delight with just the right bite.

‘Sunny Side Up’ is a delightfully wicked book! A complete treat for kids of all shapes, sizes and taste; those who fuss around their meals and those who devour their food. A visual treat for the eyes that moistened my curiosity palate, as I turned each page to follow Sunny’s exciting culinary adventures. An astonishing finale, that enhanced some beautiful childhood memories.

Katie Bagli has two interests, nature and children. She has two talents, writing and drawing. As a story teller, she engages children with her colourful puppets and other visual aids, bringing to life the characters in her books.

Dr Monica Khanna’s new book ‘Kyra’s Return Flight’ dwells deeper into the age-old societal challenges of colour differentiation amongst humans. Through a simple life story of a crow, she brings to the front the problem that we have of self-pity and self-doubt that dark coloured people face through the generations. As a school principal, I definitely recommend Monica’s books in all school libraries and encourage parents to share a copy with their kids.

My compliments to the author for developing rich and novel content in an area that still lies underexplored. With so little information available on body language in the Indian context, I can imagine how much hard work
would have gone into creating a book like this. This book is beautifully crafted in terms of quality content and relevance in the current context.
