Green Your Life to Help Save the Planet
Viva!’s latest 40-page magazine offers a green blueprint for change
Available in print and online here

The world is at a crossroads, most environmental scientists believe, and there is little time left to mend our ways, reports Viva!, Europe’s largest campaigning vegetarian organisation. With carbon footprints the size of Goliath’s and rampant consumption, we in the West need to dramatically change our lifestyle – and do it quickly.

Viva!’s latest magazine – Green Your Life - shows how everyone can, almost overnight, dramatically reduce their impact on the globe. The two greatest threats to the planet come from diet and power generation and Viva! provides the why’s and how’s of changing both. Following this lead will immediately slash your carbon footprint and dramatically reduce global warming PLUS end your part in all the world’s other accelerating environmental disasters.

Green Your Life has been produced in co-operation with Ecotricity, the world’s first truly green energy company, which invests only in wind generation. Founder Dale Vince OBE supports entirely Viva!’s ethos and is putting his money where his mouth is. For each customer, Ecotricity’s investment in new sources of green electricity is 140 times more than Npower and 42 times more than Powergen.

Green Your Life focuses on all the major environmental issues, including livestock’s impact on global warming; the links between diet, deforestation and spreading deserts; how grazing and fodder growing are the major cause of biodiversity loss (species extinction|); and  how overfishing is devastating the oceans. Editor Tony Wardle leaves no stone unturned in reporting the devastating effect of fish, meat and dairy consumption.

Assistant editor, Helen Rossiter, finds out what a difference one person can make in going vegan and meets a young woman who has done just that for the planet! Dr Justine Butler, from health charity the Vegetarian & Vegan Foundation, explains why the greenest diet is also the healthiest.

Green your Life also features great veggie recipes from your organic veg box, green holidays and merchandise, including a back pack made from recycled plastic bottles!
