RIP: Plenty Magazine Is Actually Shutting Down Everything

plenty_bye As an update to an earlier article we posted during the week, Plenty Magazine is apparently disappearing off the map. Through Gawker, we originally heard that the environmental magazine was going to continue on through their web presence. However, now new information given to the Razz is pointing to a full-on liquidation. All staff is being let go without severance and the website is dying along with the print magazine.

We here at Ecorazzi are saddened to see this happen and hope everyone involved with what was a kick-ass publication find new work on the environmental scene soon. Until this is confirmed through an official announcement, please treat this information as rumor. But since our spy was just at their offices, we can pretty much bet that this is an unfortunate reality.

R.I.P. PLENTY. However , we do understand. at CTNgreen we spent literally months to make a virtual paperless scalable magazine that was easy to use and had the right stuff, so we can empath to you on that one. Hopefylly some people from PLENTY will read this and hook-up with CTN, we are looking for talent. Visit http://www.ctngreen.com/mag for what thats about.

Too bad not even the site could be salvaged. What a shame.

RIP.

Plenty was weak

For starters, it was a terrible name for an eco-mag. People who were running it who I knew weren’t really eco anyway, they were just trying to capitalize on the green trend. Low post-consumer recycled paper=not really green, no matter how you try to justify it. They were so afraid of being seen as hippie; meanwhile treehugger embraced a name that would make eyes roll, and that’s a most happening site, and not hippie at all!

Does anyone know whether they are releasing a Farewell Feb/March issue? I read that this will be their last issue – but I can’t find it at any mag shops and there’s no word on their website.. what’s the deal?
