Osiander Bookstore - Greenbooks

Germany

Driven by the well-known goal to cut emissions the Osiander bookstore in Tübingen decided to think about their contribution in this matter. They wanted to find out whether students were keen on delivering books ordered online by bicycle. A couple weeks later students had founded a firm called Greensbooks. Now 80 students deliver books to the customers just as quickly as amazon, but with the positiv side effect that there are no emissions.

You can find this courier service not only in Tübingen, but also in Heilbronn, Stuttgart, Reutlingen and Frankfurt am Main. In 2011 Osiander was honored for this project with the future award of Baden-Württemberg.
