Re: [GreenYes] Text Book Reuse and Recycling Programs

I would suggest that the Pittsburgh coordinator make a list of specific
textbooks and quantities available, and broadcast over the Internet.  Could
even use eBay.  Someone out there is bound to pick up on it.  A second
thought is to try working with relief agencies that work in Africa, India
etc.--countries where English is spoken.  They would be happy to take
texbooks, and it would be great publicity for the school.
