A DK Made with Care book is created using the best ethical and environmental practices possible. Our back cover shows you how we have made this book differently and gives the book's environmental footprint. We have taken great care to source local printers, FSC paper (Forest Stewardship Council) and to use only non-hazardous vegetable inks. Plus we only use printers who look after their workers.
