As part of a personal to make my lifestyle a bit "greener," I took a look at my writing and how much it potentially affects the environment. Realizing there were a lot of things I could do to minimize this, I developed the Green Writing Challenge, and have made a commitment to green up my writing career this year.
If every author made just one small change in their writing this year, I wonder how much energy would be saved? How many barrels of fossil fuels would be spared?
And thus I challenge YOU to participate in The Green Writing Challenge. Here's How:
Commit to just one "green" substitute this year, such as the following:
*Submit your next manuscript electronically
*Support publishers who use ePub and POD--both energy and paper-saving technologies
*Reduce the quantity in your next mass mailing
*Swap one mass mailing in favor of an electronic mailing
*Shrink your next mailing from a press kit or full sheet/envelope to a postcard
*Skip one convention and do an online conference instead
*Turn off your computer, printer, and other peripheral devices when not in use
*Do late-night writing by candlelight, or switch to energy-saving bulbs
*Forego one appearance/signing/tour and do a virtual book tour instead
Readers, Publishers, and Merchants...you can help Green Writing, too!
*Commit to buy at least one eBook this year
*Consider ePub or POD alternatives
*Look for energy-saving green technologies to apply to your business
*Support/patronize authors/publishers who commit to green technologies
Want to join The Challenge? Sign up on the official guestbook HERE, or visit my Squidoo lens and sign in HERE! Let me know what one change you will make this year.
Happy Greening!

All fine suggestions, Lisa, which can be carried over to other aspects of our lives, including our driving habits.

Thanks for the challenge.
Here is an even bigger way to stay green when writing. Visit www.greenwriter.org when it launches July 20th you will be able to upload your scripts. Production companies will then go online to find scripts to their liking and contact you. No more printing out tons of paper and sending them in. You can go there now to enter your email so when the time comes you will get a reminder.
