Martha Stewart's a Treehugger!

Made of interesting, recollected papers, the journals are a really great and inspiring twist on the traditional journal/sketchbook while also being environmentally friendly. five and a half was started by eco-chick, Judy in Brooklyn and has since taken…
More Green Issues Than You Can Shake a Stick At
After the double-header of the green Elle and Vanity Fair issues, a plethora of mags have shown some planet-consciousness.
