I’ve been reading the Summer 2007 issue of a new magazine called GREEN. It’s printed on 88% recycled paper and is full of encouraging articles about living a more sustainable lifestyle. Altogether it’s pretty well put together, and I’ve found the articles to be informative, interesting and helpful. For example, there’s a piece on holidaying in the British Isles that includes 10 different gorgeous destinations. The Isle of Harris is not somewhere I’ve considered as a holiday destination before, but it is now. The beaches look like those I grew up on in Africa, and apparently the North Atlantic Drift means it’s not as cold as other places on the same latitude.
But, back to the magazine. There is lots of information about what’s in season, and recipes to include the seasonal produce. There are interviews with celebrities as well as ordinary folk who are living green, articles on carbon-offsetting and low-energy living, and practical advice on gardening, insulation and natural beauty.
This is a magazine I wouldn’t mind reading again. The only drawback is it is exclusive to Tesco, and I prefer not to shop there.
