Sustainable Living Ohio
"Sustainable Living Ohio" is a monthly newsletter created and written by Katie Archibald. It caters sustainable living principles to life in Central Ohio by taking into account local pressing issues, climate, local businesses, government, and nonprofits. Articles are based on questions submitted through the website concerning sustainable living (ex. What is the best oven I should buy? What is better, local or organic and where can I get them?). Each newsletter contains three regular columns, 'Eating In Season,' 'In the Home,' and 'In the Garden.' These recommend what to eat and where to get it, how to optimize function in your household, and what you should do in your garden as the seasons change. An events page is included which lists workshops, festivals, volunteer opportunities, and lectures hosted throughout Central Ohio that are relevant to sustainable living.Take a look at the new June issue!
