Mother Earth News

I almost feel like sharing this resource is cheating. Mother Earth News has been THE resource for "back-to-the-landers" since anyone thought of going back to the land. I think the staying power of this magazine lies in its coverage of practical, earth conscious ideas and its ability to change and grow with the times.
Often the articles show larger than life projects that are beyond the scope of the average reader (for example extensive solar systems), but earthy types like to look at those and dream, much the way car lovers dream of Ferraris. The rest of the magazine is filled with practical articles for sustainable living. Since getting their start forty years ago, this magazine has provided countless suggestions and resources for preserving our earth and providing healthy lives for our families. In addition to the monthly magazine, the web resources for Mother Earth and the resources available for purchase provide enough reading material to last for several years. They even have digital versions of every publication from 1970 to 2010! Now that would be a great gift!
The interactive website hosts videos, blogs and articles in an easy to use, enjoyable format. Its one of the best that I have seen. Any possible natural living topic can be found through the search feature, though I recommend just looking around. I think you'll be hooked!
