GOOD?
Hear about GOOD magazine yet?
I caught a bit on NPR. Sounds cool if they manage to stay on the straight and narrow.
Here's the premise--
People (WE!) are starting to exercise our discretion more about purchasing organic, local, and other socially & ecologically responsible products.
GOOD magainze trades on the idea that concerned people will want to know about businesses and products that are doing "good."
So, for a subscription fee, you get a magazine that exposes you to a greater circle of conscientious choices.
And the subscription fee is 100% donated to charity (you choose from a list).
Sound GOOD?
Hopefully. I am off today to pick up an issue at Barnes & Noble. I haven't found much goodness yet on their web page, so I am going to check out the paper copy.
I will let you know how it goes.

If the whole thing is about buying local, why don't you buy it from Powell's, or another local bookstore, instead of B&N?
Valid question. *fingers a spiked cudgel behind his back*
:?)
When I looked at the list of stores carrying the mag I didn't see Powell's on it. Might have been my miss, but it looked like I'd have to try an alternative bookstore in Newport.
And that didn't seem particularly local.
:?)
