Mother Earth News is a monthly magazine that offers helpful articles to anyone who wants to be more self-sufficient and environmentally-friendly.
The magazine has changed over the years, and currently has a definite slant towards a somewhat suburban audience, rather than actual country folks. This could be considered a pro or a con, depending on your own lifestyle. I personally enjoy the approach of Mother Earth News because many of their articles apply to my own city liviing situation.
There is a particular interest in energy savings and renewable energy sources, either for the home (solar, wind) or vehicles (electric, hybrids). There is usually more than one article on these topics in each issue.
Other topics often covered are: gardening, raising animals, cooking, and do-it-yourself building projects. Besides topics that are close to home, they also cover global environmental issues and feature people who are either creating new green innovations or living very eco-friendly lives.
I’ve been buying Mother Earth News every month for a while now, and I think I will finally just subscribe to it. I find it motivating mainly because it seems to speak to me in my current position.
