Positively Green - a new magazine

I recently found a new magazine, focusing on green living. It's called Positively Green. The premier issue (Fall 2008) has picture of Rachelle Begley (Ed Begley's wife) on the cover. You probably know that the Begley's (with Ed leading the way), have been 2 of the forerunners of the green living movement, and the hosts of "Living with Ed" on HGTV.

Positively Green does a great job of informing consumers about health, beauty, fashion, food and all things green.

In a previous post, I talked about reducing waste by reducing junk mail. Another site to use, is GreenDimes.com. There are 3 levels of service, the cheapest is "free" (my budget). Although you have to manually enter your information, you can choose to opt out of many pieces of junk mail. There are a few companies that require you to send a letter via mail (can you believe that?), but GreenDimes provides you the letters, addresses, etc. All you need to do is print and mail the letter.

The premiere issue of Positively Green contains information on remodeling your kitchen and bath, decorating (I love the milkbottle lamp on page 81!), furnishings, buying school supplies, giving green and much, much more!

For $4.99, it's a bargain. The only negative...it's not a monthly publication...yet.
