Getty Images A typical paperback book accounts for around 1kg of carbon dioxide, according to sustainability expert Mike Berners-Lee.
Perhaps that does not sound like much. But in the US alone, where 767 million paperback books were sold in 2023, this is equivalent to the electricity use of more than 150,000 homes for a year.

Amazon also plans to simplify its corporate structure by having fewer managers in order to "remove layers and flatten organizations," Jassy said. The company rapidly grew its headcount over the course of the pandemic before Jassy took the helm and instituted widespread cost cuts across Amazon, including the largest layoffs in its 27 years as a public company.
Jassy wrote in a lengthy missive to staffers that Amazon is making the changes in order to strengthen its corporate culture and ensure that it remains nimble. He underscored the point by saying the company created a "bureaucracy mailbox," or dedicated email alias, to root out any unnecessary processes or excessive rules within the company.

If New York has taught me anything it’s indifference. I have an eternal feeling and forget it in a week. Nothing lasts. I walk and am overcome by oranges piled high in a cart. By kids playing street ball in Tompkins while the small park dogs cheer. Getting caught up in a stranger with a crow tattoo or a butcher, unloading rosy carcasses on 9th Street. We all roll on, each with our little tragedies, our shrunken attentions. At Lucien, I order half a dream chicken, I mean really the severed bird of my dreams, and accidentally dip my black hair in the triangle of my neighbor’s martini glass. I smell like vermouth for the evening and the next day bargain for fifty samosas at the deli, stack them in my freezer until it looks like my childhood. And there are paintings, yellow and otherwise. And a carton of chucked cigarettes, Vogues, squashed by a foot on the street. Indifference is not the absence of care. It’s the enlargement of so much life that it dulls heart song, even sweet you. My interiority has nothing on this city. You and I? We’re nothing here. I answer a text with my voice. You barely make out my laugh for a siren, a couple decoupling, a fire burning a church into its ruin. I do a line and look upon the gold lights and dark rivers while someone swims in a bathtub on a floor above. Day comes. I carry on, irrelevant. I’m carried on.

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. In times of economic uncertainty, many businesses may be tempted to scale back their growth strategies. A recent study found that economic downturns often compel companies to reduce their budgets, leading to decreased funding for marketing programs.
However, this presents a unique opportunity for those willing to pivot and invest strategically. Companies that continue to focus on growth during downturns can expand their market share and position themselves for success when the economy rebounds.

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. There are different powerful reasons why the concept of "black sheep" exists, one of such reasons is never to follow the herd.
I was conversing with a valued client when the client made a valid suggestion about how over-discussed the inevitability of herd behavior was. This was a valid point, as herd behavior is always going to be a part of our reality. However, the aim is to be conscious enough of this syndrome that we can steer clear of it during critical moments. One of the best ways to achieve this is to always have a balanced strategy in making financial and strategic commitments. To shed more light on the importance of having a balanced consciousness, let's examine the story of a seasoned professional and how his supposed unique behavior became a weakness.

Long gone are the mornings when my boys would wrap their arms around me and give me slobbery kisses, when warm squishy limbs would curl up with me on the couch for story time, when we'd watch the seasons change on our dawdling walks to school, or when cardboard box forts, matchbox car racing tracks, or Lego pieces would blanket every inch of our floor.
I ruminate on how little time remains for us under one roof as a family — especially as we've already reached the single digits for the number of summers we have left before my brood leaves the nest.

The ritualistic goodbye curated by the college meant that all of us — students and families — exited a large gym at the same time onto grassy lawns, teary-eyed. Once again, I could deflect, observing and absorbing the emotions of other families and children. Many would be separated by thousands of miles; thankfully, we were only a two-hour drive away. We held each other, my husband, teenager, and I, and whispered our reassurances that we would see each other soon and were ready for this phase. I wasn't prepared for this phase of our lives
I had prepared to send my child to college, thinking of it as a temporary absence to enhance their development. I hadn't prepared to accept the idea that their leaving is yet another toward adulthood, a long-term shift, an evolution of our family life from daily gathering to sporadic togetherness.

I like to play the game. I like to compete in business, and Cost Plus Drugs could be the biggest thing I’ve ever done.”

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. For many new business owners, direct distribution may seem like the most cost-effective route to reach customers. Without any need for partnerships, third-party integrations or revenue splits, it has the lowest apparent cost. However, as businesses grow, a well-balanced mix of distribution channels becomes crucial to unlocking new growth opportunities. By strategically diversifying your distribution strategy, you can protect your brand, and build a more agile and resilient business model.
Despite their higher costs, distribution partners not only ease operational burden but can significantly broaden market reach thanks to their established networks. That is certainly the case in the hospitality sector, where distribution has always been critical. Since the products can't be moved, all of a hotel's inventory is filled by smart distribution.

Babe, are you nodding off? I know we’re both exhausted after a long day, a dinner party at which you made a three-word comment that left me feeling like you don’t know me at all, and the subsequent ninety-minute fight that culminated in a tentative truce. But, now that we’re finally in bed, what do you say to my ripping off your sleep-apnea mask and our having a marathon discussion about the state of our relationship?
I just feel like since our most recent dysfunctional episode is fresh in our memories we shouldn’t let it go to waste. A much better use of our time would be if I dissected your diction, syntax, and micro-expressions; compared them with the historical record, thanks to a “secret sauce” algorithm I’ve been coding for the past year; and teased out the sources from which they came (your mother). My guess is this will take two to four hours that could have been less fruitfully spent slumbering.
