SA Book & Challenge Lovers discussion

This challenge takes its inspiration from Bob and the gang who are always employing the three R's - Re-use, Recycle, Reduce.

(For those of you who are not exposed to toddler TV, here is the theme song - it made it to No 1 on the UK charts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO_PL3...)

The rules:
Books must be longer than 150 pages.
Paper, e-books and audio books may be used.
Books read between 1 July and 31 October 2014 may be used.

The tasks:
Recycle
1. Read a book in which a main character or key location is transformed (but not destroyed). Not in the sense of shapeshifters, but like a peasant becoming a queen or a passenger ship becoming a military vessel.
2. Read a book where an environmental issue is important to the plot
3. Read a book published in an environmentally responsible manner e.g on paper that carries the FSC logo or an e-book
