Positively Green Is Positively The Coolest Next Eco Magazine

As you know, I’ve been having “issues” lately with all of the cover girls of green-themed mags hitting stands around Earth Day. If something is going to represent with a special edition eco-theme, it should truly rock it out on every page. Of course, as some have mentioned, that might be hard to do for some of the more mainstream mags — which is why it’s encouraging to know that there are several green publications out there where every issue is dedicated to what’s happening to make the earth a better place.

Enter Positively Green. It’s not launching until this summer, but based on the preview this could be the subscription that a lot of my lady friends have been looking for. The layout is fresh and appealing — something absolutely necessary when attempting to push the green lifestyle. And this may come as a shock to some, but the actual production of the magazine is eco-friendly. From the release,

“How does a green girl live without her very own green magazine just for girls? She doesn’t have to. Positively Green is just the magazine you’ve been looking for; with eco-gossip, fashion and beauty, health and green issues, the coolest green products, the best green travel destinations as well as simple green solutions and tips on cooking green. The magazine will launch in August but pre-subscribers can sign up at a discount AND with every one year subscription, Positively Green will donate $2 to the eco-charity of your choice so you can save the planet while you’re learning how to save the planet. And don’t worry about finding someone like Jennifer Lopez on our cover – we only promote truly green girls. Rachelle Begley, co-star of Living with Ed will be on our premiere issue. To subscribe and see a small 32 page preview (the actual magazine will be 120 pages printed on recycled paper and we offset our carbon footprint from shipping, etc) jump here.”

Charity and eco-friendly — now that’s a magazine worth picking up.

Marcel (sweetgreen?) it could be that the paper is made from cotton. Or hemp. Or papyrus. Or Bamboo. Or rice…ok, probably not rice since that stuff is fairly fragile.

My point is that not all paper comes from trees – not even recycled paper is always tree at the source.

My prayers have been answered. This is such a great idea. I can’t wait.

This seems like a very promising outing… yet, it also leads us to wonder, why are Hachette and Conde Nast leaving the door wide open for so many great green upstarts? Green is the new Zeitgeist… does this mean ELLE and VOGUE are doomed to go the way of General Motors, collapse under the heap of their own hypocrisy, lack of vision, failing to adapt to the latest, hippest trend? Are Hachette and Conde Nast so dependent on car ads and toxic cosmetics, they can’t read the writing on the wall? There are many cherished institutions I would love to see wither and die… beloved once beautiful fashion magazines are not amongst them.
