PartnersThe Union of Concerned Scientists and Penguin Classics have created a unique partnership to educate the public about the dangers of global warming and the solutions at hand. This fall bookstores across the country joined the effort by displaying easels and bookmarks about the project and encouraged the public to submit stories to be included in the new online book, Thoreau's Legacy: American Stories about Global Warming. The Union of Concerned Scientists is the leading science-based nonprofit working for a healthy environment and a safer world. UCS combines independent scientific research and citizen action to develop innovative, practical solutions and to secure responsible changes in government policy, corporate practices, and consumer choices. The Penguin Classics are the largest and most comprehensive publisher of classic literature in English, in the world, and as a publisher is committed to using paper products from manufacturers who are committed to sustainable paper production techniques, as well as in-house conservation and recycling in our daily business practice. |
