Magazine and Book Publishing

Our goal for Green Living magazine is to inform the "soon-to-be-converted" by providing interesting, hip and valuable information about organics, health, the environment and eco-consumer products, as well as celebrity interviews and eco-home style. We promote sustainable and healthy living that is good for you - and for the earth. Our recently published book, Green Tips, is an everyday guide to living more lightly on the earth. This book is being distributed to World Wildlife Fund Canada sponsors as well as through Canadian booksellers.

Event management

In 2005, Green Living Enterprises and the City of Toronto launched the Green Toronto Awards. These Environmental Awards of Excellence honour and celebrate leading companies, organizations and individuals who are contributing to the greening of Toronto. This successful event is held annually at City Hall and is hosted by the Mayor.

The Green Living Show, launched in spring 2007, branded the success of the magazine by turning its pages into an interactive consumer lifestyle show. Organic wine and food tasting, celebrity events, green home design, eco fashion and hybrid cars - yet another way to promote our green message in a fun and exciting way.

Sponsorships

Green Living magazine is a sponsor of Planet in Focus, Canada´s Environmental Film and Video festival (now in its seventh year), and the CBC-TV miniseries Code Green. The Endangered Fish Alliance, our initiative to encourage chefs and restaurateurs to eliminate endangered fish from their menus, was donated to Environmental Defence Canada. We are staunch supporters of FSC Canada and initiated a promotion campaign to all publishers and advertisers, encouraging them to follow our example by using forest-friendly FSC-certified paper for all their publishing and printing needs.

Fundraising

Green Living successfully organized and managed the WWF Auction for Nature on eBay, raising over $200,000 in support of World Wildlife Fund Canada´s conservation efforts. Orchestrated by Green Living Enterprises, the entire fundraising effort consisted of the online sale and consumer purchase of a variety of green goods and services from eco trips to environmentally friendly products to organic clothing.

Green Living Enterprises also hosted the live presentation of An Inconvenient Truth by former U.S. Vice-President Al Gore, which preceded a small private luncheon to support Mr. Gore´s work and the work of Canadian environmental organizations.
