K-12 Publisher Goes Green

The B.C government recently signed an aggressive environmental policy mandating the decrease of greenhouse gasses by 33%. The policy pushes public sector organizations, including K-12 schools, to make greener decisions.

To aid in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, Etraffic Press has developed a publishing model that allows schools to reduce the required number of physical textbooks -- leading to a carbon and cost savings of 50% - 70%.

Etraffic Press is a British Columbia based K-12 publishing company that creates textbooks combined with online media for modern learning.

The Etraffic Press publishing model alone has the potential to save 41,859 tonnes of carbon emissions each year for schools in Canada.
