YES! Magazine GIVEAWAY
Times are tough - money is hard to come by - and winter is roaring it’s head. How about something for nothing? SCREAM to be GREEN doesn’t do giveaways very often, but I think this is a great one. We’re giving away a one year subscription to YES! Magazine. Just look at the covers above and see their commitment to the environment and sustainability! Sustainability, climate change (with Bill McKibben no less), locavores, oil, water battles, etc. Cozy up in a warm blanket with this gem of a magazine. Did I mention that YES! is printed on 100% post consumer waste recycled paper? It is.
From their FAQ:
What is YES! magazine all about?
We focus on a different topic each quarter, each one on opportunities for social change toward a more just, sustainable, and compassionate world. Recent issues have focused on redefining the “good life,” great urban places, preserving and reclaiming water resources, rethinking elderhood, finding alternatives to oil dependence.
Here is an example of some of the great material available in Yes! Magazine.
“Christmas With No Presents?”
by Colin Beavan, No Impact Man
“No Impact Man,” Colin Beavan, suspected the holidays would be just as merry without all the stuff — and he was right! Beavan and his small family have committed to living a no-net-environmental-impact lifestyle in the middle of New York City, and blogs about the adventure at NoImpactMan.com. Here he shares his very merry Christmas story — minus the stuff.

this magazine is nice
This is my kind of magazine in every way. I cancelled all of my old subscriptions last year (to beauty and celebrity mags), because it dawned on me -finally!- that they were 90% advertisements for products that I neither needed nor wanted.

My teenage kids make fun of me and the “green” things I do, but i tell them if more people would live like we do , the planet would be in much better shape. I think they are learning about living more carefully!

I’m trying to reform my ‘waster’ habits. I need to win!
well we are greening up and looking for ways to do it better
Thanks for the giveaway. I really enjoyed the article about redefining Christmas on the site. This year, we’re either not giving gifts (instead we’re giving time or coming together for a meal) and we’re making presents for those that want to exchange something.
We’re always searching for new ways to make our lives more “green.” A subscription to Yes sounds like the perfect way to do just that.
What a great giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity.
