Down To Earth

Who says print media is dead

It's difficult to admit our love for print media sources one day when talking about Tweets, Kindle postings and Facebook updates the next.  And even more so for environmentalists who ought to be preaching saving trees by doing away with magazines.  But in a sense we're old-school newsies, and every two months when our issue of Sierra Magazine hits home we're as giddy as ever to turn the pages.

Sierra Magazine, a publication of the Sierra Club, offers some of the most comprehensive coverage of environmental issues you can find - a great perk of being a member.  Since we don't want to keep it to ourselves, here's a taste of what's in the latest issue:

  • Two months worth of environmental news - one page of brief descriptions - and even better - when you read it online you get hyperlinks galore.  Check it out HERE.  
  • A great feature on one man's quest to visit every National Park and how that inspired Ken Burn's newest documentary.  Read it HERE.  
  • Sierra Magazine has been running in-depth stories about America's coal addiction for several months now.  Titled "Bad Energy", these stories are always well researched, well written, and well.... depressing.  Read the latest titled "The Great Alaska Coal Rush"
