It's Easy Being Green


There are White ones, Yellow ones and Pink Pages; now there are Greenpages. This national directory links the householder and the corporate sector to businesses and services with a sustainable bent. Published online and in print, Greenpages’ 5000+ listings range from Pet Care to Insulating Paint; all meet GP’s green criteria, developed by a board of professionals across a range of industries.

More than an A-to-Z, well, an A-(for Architecture)-to-W-(for Weddings), its magazine format also features slick articles that are easy on the eye. The current Summer edition includes profiles of sustainable fashion designers (among them: Akira, Gorman and Vixen), and feature stories on bike culture and the Pacific island of Tuvalu, which is threatened by rising sea levels. Oh, and there are Eco-Horoscopes too. (Simone)

Slow guides

The Slow Guides are for anybody who wants to slow down and live it up, seachange without shifting postcode. They celebrate all that’s local, natural, traditional, sensory and most of all gratifying about living in Sydney and Melbourne. Click on a book for a preview.

How to buy a book

Start off slow and get your book the old-fashioned way; pop into a store and say g’day. But if you’re too entranced with what’s happening in your garden, or too preoccupied gazing on a cloud, you could always order one online.
