What's a "Memory Tree"?

What's a "Memory Tree"?

A "Memory Tree" is exactly what it sounds like; a tree that has been planted 'In Memory' of the tree that was chopped down and used to create the book that you are buying or selling. We are environmentally aware of the impact that books have and one of our main goals is to help keep the Earth sustainable through human existence.

Does someone physically plant a tree? If so, who?

Does someone physically plant a tree? If so, who?

Yes, for every book that is sold through CampusBooksale.com 1 tree is planted. No need to grab a shovel and gloves, unless you desperately want to plant a tree, we have it covered. We've created a special partnership with a non-profit organization Sustainable Harvest International (SHI) to help us with the planting of the trees. This organization helps provide environmental, agricultural, and economic advances to needy communities in many foreign countries. They have already planted over 2,000,000 trees and we hope to help double, triple, or even quadruple this number.

What do I do once I've submitted a book?

Once you have submitted your book, you must wait until someone wishes to buy the book. You could sit around and wait or you can help spread the word and get your books sold faster. We've started a Campus Reps Program to help drive more buyers and sellers in concentrated levels. Buying and selling on campus saves time, money, and is better for the environment!

Will I have to ship anything out?

Will I have to ship anything out?

Our intentions are in our name. Our goal is to be able to find someone on your college Campus that needs a Book that you have, and make the sale that way. This is to reduce your costs, time and inconveniences with selling your books. Not only does it do this but it creates "Greener" colleges, "Greener" campuses, a "Greener" You, and a happier and healthier Earth. It is however possible for someone from another school to contact you about your book. If you're willing to ship it to them, by all means, go ahead.
