Go Green
Rockford Woman editor Jennie Pollock knows that we’re not going to transform our lifestyles overnight, but she looks for ways big and mostly small to protect our planet. Read about her experiences (she’s tried giving up plastic and meat, for example) and share your possible solutions here. |

This week is the second of our new Go Green page in Sunday Life&Style, and we’re debuting a tip from our partners at WREX-13, who run a Going Green segment every Tuesday. Thanks to Justin Gehrts, who reports this every week!

I launched this blog back in May as a limited effort, but it has snowballed from there because of growing interest in living a eco-friendly lifestyle.
While I and other greenies may be mocked (and I’m not that hard-core), I think the general population is more aware of its impact on the planet and trying to do better.
In the Sunday Life&Style section of the Register Star, starting Jan. 18, we’re adding a weekly Go Green page to help you “do better.” I wrote about it here. We hope to include calendar listings, news and as much advice as possible.

Yesterday, I wrote about churches caring for the Earth in accordance with the Scriptures.
What a coincidence. Last night, I saw a story about a green Bible made with recycled paper and soy ink.
Now there is a Bible trying to make gardeners of us all. On Oct. 7, HarperCollins is releasing The Green Bible, a Scripture for the Prius age that calls attention to more than 1,000 verses related to nature by printing them in a pleasant shade of forest green, much as red-letter editions of the Bible encrimson the words of Jesus. The new version’s message, states an introduction by Evangelical eco-activist J. Matthew Sleeth, is that “creation care”–the Christian catchphrase for nature conservancy–”is at the very core of our Christian walk.”

maybe my magazines are really hitting their target demo right in marketing to me, but it seems like every company, even budweiser (which i don’t drink), is running with the green theme.
one great example of editorial and advertising pulling together on the green theme was dropped off for me by hokumboy (thanks!). volume one, an alternative bi-weekly in eau claire/menomonie/chippewa falls, wis., devoted 12 pages to “green means go,” full of recycling resources, quizzes, tips, profiles and products. it was nicely done.
note: the rrs did its own “go green” section this year, too. i hope for future opportunities.
