A NOTE ABOUT THE PUBLISHER

New Society Publishers is an activist, solutions-oriented publisher focused on publishing books for a world of change. Our books offer tips, tools, and insights from leading experts in sustainable building, homesteading, climate change, environment, conscientious commerce, renewable energy, and more — positive solutions for troubled times.

We’re proud to hold to the highest environmental and social standards of any publisher in North America. This is why some of our books might cost a little more. We think it’s worth it!

We print all our books in North America, never overseas

All our books are printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper, processed chlorine free, with low-VOC vegetable-based inks (since 2002)

Our corporate structure is an innovative employee shareholder agreement, so we’re one-third employee-owned (since 2015)

We’re carbon-neutral (since 2006)

We’re certified as a B Corporation (since 2016)

At New Society Publishers, we care deeply about what we publish—but also about how we do business.
