MySpace is currently the world's sixth most popular English-language website and the sixth most popular website in any language, and the third most popular website in the United States.
On April 22, Earth Day, the online network will collaborate with a children's imprint of HarperCollins on an environmental handbook.
"How great it is to launch a partnership with a company with as large an influence as MySpace on such an important topic," said Jane Friedman, President and CEO of HarperCollins.
"MySpace has entire online communities, such as the Impact Channel and OurPlanet, dedicated solely to environmental and social causes," Tom Anderson, co-founder and president of MySpace, said.
"The first MySpace book is just one more way we are working to engage the MySpace community in environmental issues and encourage people to take action."
A paperback original will be written by freelance jounalist Jeca Taudte and will soon be called Myspace/Our Planet: Change is Possible.

The book will be about 160 pages and cost about $12.95. A first printing of 200,000 is planned.
The book will feature ideas from MySpace users, who through Nov. 7 can post environmental tips on http://www.myspace.com/ourplanet.
The contributers suggestions will be woven into the book, either it be a sentence or a paragraph. However, they will not be paid, but will be credited by their usernames and geographic location.

The main idea of this book is that teenagers are not only contributing , but are also being provided a blueprint on how to help the environment.
