He was eventually persuaded at the third time of asking, and his fears have been unfounded.last month, he said his participation on the show had been "extreme", but he hoped it would "go some way in stretching people's ideas of what is possible for a person with disabilities".

(We All Shine On) by John Lennon.

The pair briefly performed in the dark, to show the judges and audience what is was like for McCausland on the show.Judge Craig Revel Horwood described it as the "poignant blackout moment" and "absolutely spectacular".

Perhaps that does not sound like much. But in the US alone, where 767 million paperback books were sold in 2023, this is equivalent to the electricity use of more than 150,000 homes for a year.Forest loss, paper production and printing, and transport of books are generally the largest contributors to the carbon emissions of printed books.

So, using less wood fibre, and shipping lighter loads, are important ways to reduce the emissions of print books (as well as the costs of producing them).One simple method is reducing the thickness of the paper. Some publishers are turning to subtly thinner paper. There are limits to this: the most lightweight paper may be less durable. And for certain types of books, including art books, there’s a preference for heavier paper.
