Chelsea Green: Sustainable Publishing

Founded in 1984, Chelsea Green Publishing is recognized as a leading publisher of books on the politics and practice of sustainable living, publishing authors who bring in-depth, practical knowledge to life, and give readers hands-on information related to organic farming and gardening, permaculture, ecology, the environment, local food, sustainable business and economics, and green building.

Their mission statement: "Chelsea Green sees publishing as a tool for effecting cultural change. Our purpose is to reverse the destruction of the natural world by challenging the beliefs and practices that are enabling this destruction and by providing inspirational and practical alternatives that promote sustainable living."

As part of its mission, the company is committed to being a sustainable business enterprise. This means reducing natural resource and energy use to the maximum extent possible. Chelsea Green is also a member of the Green Press Initiative, a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing the use of recycled paper in the book industry.
