It’s easy to forget that every printed book was once a tree. That’s why, for each paperback and BlueBound sold on this website, we plant a new tree to honor the one that made your copy.
Our trees are mangroves, planted in Kilifi on the Kenyan coast, where rapid urbanization has destroyed critical habitats for wildlife. Thanks to GoodAPI, our planting partner, we can support reforestation that heals the environment and creates field-site jobs for locals at fair wages.
As an avid reader, I am excited that Lost Island publishes stories worth telling, not just selling. I am also proud that GoodAPI partners with them on their Buy a paperback, plant a tree initiative. So while you get lost in their stories, the team at GoodAPI is growing forests you’ll get lost wandering in one day.
For every ebook and audiobook sold on this website, we rescue five plastic bottles that would have landed in the ocean. GoodAPI works with groups like Plastic Bank Indonesia to make this happen.
We hope you’ll shop with us on this website, where authors earn more and we have extra margin to put to good use.
