Glamour Magazine: Is Green Becoming Glamourous?

After Vanity Fair and Domino (among others), it is now Glamour Magazine's turn to feature some eco-content. They didn't go with a whole green issue, but their "top 10 things you can do for the planet" is a nice introduction to easy things that everybody can do to reduce their ecological footprint. It's cool that a large audience of people who might not have known about these things will be introduced to them (or reminded), but we encourage Glamour readers not to stop there; these things are just the beginning! The most important green tip of all is to educate yourself, to find information and share it. That's the crucial first step that (should) lead to action. Glamour also has a list of what it calls "The best eco websites". Thanks for the link, Glamour! We feel more glamourous already. ::Glamour Magazine

Perhaps Glamour could take a cue from their own article and start investigating some of the products that they advertise; and also consider using recycled paper.
All women magazines will have similar sections over time as more and more of us are interested in the ecological everyone of us causes
I love that more and more "mainstream" magazines are featuring green alternatives or even having issues dedicated to all things green.
I received a gift subscription to Glamour magazine and am appalled that it comes to my mailbox every month sealed in a plastic bag! It is totally worthless and I am emailing them my concern and likely cancelling my subscription.
Until Glamour Magazine take their offering fully online, how can they be green?
