Green Living magazine ceases publication
A curt note on its website says that Green Living magazine will no longer be published by Green Living Enterprises. All it says is
Please subscribe to our free, weekly e-newsletter which provides easy and workable solutions for leading a sustainable lifestyle and much more!Green Living Enterprises is a part of the Key Publishers group of companies, which at one time under the leadership of Michael DePencier published or was involved in titles such as Toronto Life, Fashion, Canadian Business, Canadian Art and Canadian Geographic. The magazine is an outgrowth of EnviroGuide, launched in 1999 and which was renamed Green Living in 2005. It became a quarterly in 2008. In 2009, The Green Living Guide, a Toronto guide to green retailers and service providers was published.
In 2007, the magazine group launched the Green Living Show. It's not known what the impact will be on the show of the end of publication of the magazine.
The management team at Green Living Enterprises is chaired by Michael de Pencier and includes editorial director Kim Pittaway, a prolific freelancer and former editor of Chatelaine and creative director Caren Watkins.

While Green Living Magazine, which was published twice a year, it actually ceased publication in 2009. Green Living Enterprises is healthy and active. The magazine was always a small component of GLE's wider eco-focused custom publishing and marketing operations, which include the Green Living Show, custom publishing and custom content creation for clients such as The Home Depot, Scotiabank, Sears and others, and marketing for a wide range of corporations, ENGOs, utilities, government and others. While not taken lightly, the decision to cease publication of our controlled distribution consumer magazine was made in an effort to focus staff resources and energy on our core custom publishing and marketing business. We are also happy to report that the 2010 Green Living Show broke attendance records and had over 260 million media impressions

While I appreciate the response, and news that the Show will go on, it surprises me that the magazine was discontinued months ago and that its role in establishing the brand is now played down. If it was news to me, then it was likely news, too, to all of the magazine's readers.
I was also unhappy to hear about the termination of the magazine. It was a good resource and it will be missed.
If I may contribute my bit in the spirit of the magazine, let me share a great TED video on energy efficient building materials: http://www.ted.com/talks/catherine_mohr_builds_green.html .
Thank you for all the inspiration, Green Living.

I'm always concerned when magazines, particularly ones with an environmental angle, fold.
