"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's."
It's the best-selling book of all time, and the most widely distributed. And for some of us, it's the guideline by which we live our lives, and the yard-stick with which we measure right and wrong. Yet surprisingly (considering the countless passages that talk about the earth and our treatment of living things), until 2007, the bible wasn't very eco-friendly. (My guess is that it was probably due in part to the thinness of the pages, which might have required a special paper.)
Then in October 2007, Thomas Nelson, Inc. released the world's first bible printed on recycled paper, and the heaven's rejoiced.

I haven't been able to find any statistics on the sales of bibles printed on recycled paper, but can I get an Amen??
One step closer to protecting God's green earth. :)
