Do you have a lot of books around your house that you no longer read? If you do and you have no idea what to do with them, the Daily Green has 11 ideas on how to recycle your books.

1. Throw a book swap party. Get in a few bottles of wine (organic and fair trade of course) and get together your friends, family or neighbors for a book swapping party. You can make up ‘rules’ if you wish, or just let people dive in and help themselves.

2. Donate your books to your local library. You can feel great knowing your old books will be read by hundreds more people.
