Looking for environmental justice submissions!

I make an environmental zine called GreenLight with my friends. Each issue is about a different environmental issue. Our next one is going to be our 6th and is coming out this fall. The theme is environmental justice, which refers to "inequitable environmental burdens borne by groups such as racial minorities, women, residents of economically disadvantaged areas, or residents of developing nations." We're looking for articles and artwork related to...* What is environmental justice? (Intro,…See More

Donating zines

Has anyone had any experience donating zines to local libraries and high school libraries that don't already have a zine library? Who do you usually contact and have your zines been well-received?I make an environmental awareness zine called GreenLight and I'd like to donate some zines around town.Thanks!LoraSee More

"I would love to trade! Your zine sounds cool! I make an environmental zine called GreenLight. If you're up for it, my address is P.O. Box 272 Wickliffe, OH 44092"

This is me!

GreenLightZine.Org!

I make a zine called GreenLight that aims to empower youth to make sustainable change in their community. GreenLight has somewhat of a Cleveland focus, but much of it applies to anyone with a DIY-environmentalist ethic! Feel free to visit greenlightzine.org for more info. I'm open for trades, too!

Zines I've made!
-GreenLight #1 (Fall 2007- I don't have any more copies of this at the moment)
-GreenLight #2: The Waste Issue (Spring 2007)
-On Adulthood (Spring 2008- a zine about graduating college and wanting to be great)
-GreenLight #3: The Water Issue (Summer 2008)
-GreenLight #4: The Food Issue (Fall 2008)
-GreenLight #5: A DIY Guide to Cleveland (Spring 2009)

General about me stuff:
I graduated from Oberlin College in May of 2008 with a degree in environmental studies. I live in Cleveland now and have a fond affection for punk music, shows in basements, cooking, fort-building, crafting (especially recycled notebooks and collaging), riot grrrl, and building community in Cleveland.

GreenLight #5: A DIY Guide to Cleveland

Posted on March 22, 2009 at 3:40pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

Just finished the newest GreenLight, which is a DIY Guide to Cleveland. GL is usually a sustainability zine, but we felt like we needed a guide to everyone's favorite Cleveland spots. If you're living in the Cleveland area or are visiting soon... or just want to know more about some Cleveland gems, this is for you! I'm up for trading or you can order it at loralovesohio.etsy.com.

We also just launched a new website, which is pretty sweet! Check that out at greenlightzine.org!
