Welcome to Green Living - A Practical Journal for Friends of the Environment!
Green Living has been publishing news you can use, mostly related to environmental issues, since 1990.

E - The Environmental Magazine is a bimonthly "clearinghouse" of information, news and resources for people concerned about the environment who want to know "What can I do?" to make a difference. A 13-time Independent Press Awards winner and nominee, E is chock full of everything environmental -- from recycling to rainforests, and from the global village to our own backyards. E reaches a national audience in a smartly designed full-color format, printed on recycled paper. E is independent of any membership organization and has no agenda to promote except that of our very diverse and dynamic movement as a whole. |

Psssst. Wanna see your products in the movies?
Latest research shows, most green businesses are not reaching a majority of customers with their products. Instead of marketing to a niche, green products must be "normalized" for the mainstream. Wondering how to do it?

Beth will discuss multi-faceted marketing for natural products including social media, experiential marketing, traditional marketing and tv/movie product placement.
