I’ve always been fairly Green with a capital G. You can’t grow up middle-class on the west coast of Canada in the eighties without having environmental values pounded into you. Then I went to UVic, the heartland of environmentalism.

As such, it’s been interesting to watch environmental values creep, ever onwards, into the mainstream. Climate change seems to have been the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back, no doubt helped along by some recent radical weather patterns (which may or may not be attributable to global warming).

I was looking at the magazine rack in the grocery store today, and was struck by the prominence of this ethos in a wide variety of publications. I snapped some photos with my dodgy camera phone:

Whenever I see that Lou Lou magazine (yowza, that site), I always laugh. It’s a “shopping magazine”, which just means they’re lying less than all of the other advertising and advertorial-packed womens’ magazines.
