By nature, magazines can’t always walk the walk. We can offer up suggestions, tips and stories about conservation, sustainability and green-ness. We can be printed on recycled paper, printed with soy-based ink and ask our readers to recycle us after they read us. Still, we increase the amount of waste being tossed into landfills and we consume enormous amounts of energy in our production, manufacturing, printing and shipping.
So, for Yellow Scene’s 2010 Green Issue, we opted to go 100 percent waste free, putting our carbon footprint where our mouths are. From a local filmmaker who’s looking to put himself out of business to local green experts’ tips for your home and office, our eco-minded issue is as green as they come (minus the electricity used to keep our computers chugging). Also, check out YS associate editor Lacy Boggs’ “Ho Hos at Home,” in which she makes processed foods from scratch, and a sneak peak of Spring Leaf, Boulder’s zero-energy model home.
