The average college student spends an average of $500 per semester — $1,000 per year for those who couldn’t afford the math textbook — on college textbooks. And according to green math, that adds up to about a tree per year per student lost in creating those texts.

Why buy when you can rent???

Go to Chegg.com to see how you can rent new textbooks at half the cost. They pay for the shipping. Or you can download saving even more. Bonus– they plant a tree for every text you rent.
