Eco Encore

Eco Encore raises funds for environmental organizations in the Pacific Northwest through the resale of used books, CDs, videos and DVDs. Through the collection and sale of used media, Eco Encore turns used goods into financial support for the regional environmental movement.

Description:
Eco Encore is a system designed to transform used books, CDs, videos, DVDs and software into revenue for environmental organizations in the Pacific Northwest. We are both a service for people seeking to recycle items they no longer wish to keep and a fundraising vehicle for organizations working to protect the natural environment. We are also an awareness-building organization, helping people discover creative ways to reuse manufactured goods while connecting with environmental organizations in their community.

History:
Eco Encore was founded in 2002 by Jesse Putnam. Since then, it has distributed almost $20,000 to environmental organizations by promoting the reuse of approximately 7 tons of books, CDs, and videos that might have otherwise been wasted.
