I enjoy Natural Home magazine, which instructs you on how to build or remodel (or redocrate) using organic and otherwise green materials. It's all very dreamy, although it usually ends up making me feel like I can't afford to be green. ;-(

I am really put off by the supposedly green Ms. Butters, who calls her catalog of dried organic food powder a "magazine" and her New York business manager a "literary agent." Just about the most ridiculous attempt to co-opt environmentalism for a green-tinted consumerism that I have ever seen. Yuck, yuck, yuck.

We get G Magazine and Green Pages. I prefer G, as it's got fewer ads, but both are pretty good.

'Solar Today' is excellent. I haven't seen it on the zine stands though. It may be a members only rag. Product of ASES: the American Solar Energy Society. I knew I liked it when the first article I read highlighted the advantages of solar over nuclear power (as if they really need highlighting). It was an intelligent piece.

I recently picked up a copy of 'Houses' because it featured a LEED Gold home on Bainbridge Island, WA. It contains a quality piece about the green movement and how difficult it will be to draw lines considering what it means to truly create a 100% sustainable and biodegradable home. I was pleased to learn that many of the articles were all about energy efficient homes.

Otherwise, I still have trouble with magazines in general. Online makes more green sense to me.

Does anyone know if Barnes and Noble recycles their not-sold magazines? I've heard they simply tear off the cover and throw them away. If this is true, we should sic Greenpeace on them!

It's not purely environmental but It is mostly should be considered

For parenting issues, I think Kiwi is pretty good. One nice thing about Britain's Green Parent, though, is I have a web only subscription- something that many don't offer.

There are at least half a dozen other vegetarian/vegan magazines available. Being vegan is the greenest thing one can do. I read Vegetarian Times.

The number one green magazine is the one that doesn't exist. Magazines are a waste of resources and usually nothing but ads and articles about products. Not to mention how few of them are actually printed on 100% recycled paper.

If you must read a magazine, please go the the library to read the shared copy there.

Texterity has a bunch of digital magazines on their website. Subscribing to digital magazines instead of buying the print versions on the news stands is the green way to go. My favorites Organic Style and are Organic Lifestyle Magazine (being the tree hugger that I am). They also have a bunch of others, including Popular Science and National Geographics Green Guide.

Don't know how you missed this magazine. It's my bible! Really great for parenting, practical and useful. I have a teen and a 4 year old and they actually talk about more than just babies.
