Plenty Magazine: Smart Living for a Complex World
by TreeHugger on 01.18.05
If TreeHugger existed in the non-virtual world, we like to think we’d be something like this. Plenty’s second issue, on sale now, features articles on top eco-travel destinations, a vegetarian reconciling principle with style, and five under-40 movers and shakers of the environmental scene. Plus a global warming report, Green Gear, and tons more. Find it on your newsstand, or subscribe to the six-times-yearly magazine at their website. Via ArriveNet and Joel Makower ::Plenty [by KK]
Some of the articles are pretty good. Could use better paper, better inks, better printer, better models, better photographers, better lay-out, better graphics... and Less Rockybucks. You can "smell" the money. Plenty is too high up the financial food chain for its own good. Absolutely no "zine" feel... Lucky & Cargo have nothing to fear. Lü was doing "natural rubber" three years ago!!! But let's face it, I'm "green" with envy, since a print edition of Lü, is what we all aspire to. So why are the folks with the money never the folks with the talent? Mystere et boule de gomme as we say in frog. I just hope Plenty doesn't spoil it for everybody else... Already Organic Style now sports three SUV ads per issue. It's as if they are intentionally trying to destroy the potential for a genuinely green periodicals industry!
