Environmentally conscious

Milkweed is committed to ecological stewardship. In addition to publishing books that explore our relationship with the more-than-human world, we strive to use the most sustainable production practices and to reduce the impact of our operations in the environment.

We are working closely with our partners to plan and execute a Book Lovers Ball that minimizes waste and reduces carbon emissions by encouraging carpooling, public transport, and EV use; eliminating single-use items; composting or recycling all event waste and collateral; using sustainable and reusable materials in all decor; and utilizing seasonal and locally grown food.
