Donations Worldwide :30 TV Spot

VO: Paper accounts for 40% of solid waste in the U.S. But books should fill our lives not our land. To become greener, pass on, sell or donate the books you’ve outgrown. At Half Price Books, what we don’t resell in store, we strive recycle or donate to non-profit organizations worldwide. Find directions to one of our 18 DFW Half Price Books locations at half price books dot com.

Bagless :30 TV Spot

VO: Paper or plastic? How about neither. It takes as much petroleum to make 14 plastic bags as it does to drive a car one mile. Paper bags use even more oil. To become greener, keep a tote bag handy instead. When you decline a plastic bag, Half Price Books will give five cents to sponsor local environmental programs. Learn more about going bagless at halfpricebooks dot com. Half Price Books is a proud sponsor of WFAA TV’s Project Green, helping north Texans live cleaner, smarter, richer lives.

 

Gift Cards :30 TV Spot

VO: Gift cards make the perfect present. But plastics production accounts for 14% of toxic emissions in the U.S. To become greener, reload, reuse or recycle your gift cards to make the most of that petroleum. At Half Price Books, our gift cards are made of corn or recycled plastic. Buy one of these earth-friendly gift cards at half price books dot com.

Secondhand :30 TV Spot

VO: No book should have just one reader. So pass on, sell, or donate last week’s bestseller, or yesterday’s treasure. Buying and selling secondhand is one way you can become greener and help preserve the environment. At Half Price Books, we’ll make you a cash offer for the books, music, and movies you’ve already enjoyed. Find out more about buying and selling secondhand at half price books dot com.

Keep Texas Beautiful :30 TV Spot

Cash Offer :30 TV Spot

Gift Wrap :30 TV Spot

VO: Tis the season to wrap! And if every family wrapped just 3 presents in re-used materials, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields. Join Half Price Books in our efforts to preserve the environment. Wrap responsibly this holiday season. Consider reusable gift bags instead of disposable gift wrap.
