Feeling sad -- the bookshop at Green Metropolis has closed

Initially, I started to sell the better quality and more unusual books that are left at the recycling centre on this lovely website because The Woodland Trust received a small amount from each sale. But Green Metropolis was much more than that -- a community website for book lovers, with a discussion forum, info about books and much more!

In his closing statement, Barry Crow says:
Together we’ve helped keep more books in circulation for longer, helping the environment and, with your help, have raised over £35,000 for our charity partner.
Out of this amount, The Woodland Trust received a massive £28,224.00. What a great achievement. Let's hope Barry Crow has another brilliant idea up his sleeve!
