August is typically our back-to-school issue, so this was a difficult issue to write (you’ll notice we don’t have a ton of stories on the subject!). While we worked on this in June and July, and when we went to press, there were still many discussions about what the upcoming school year will look like.
This personally affects me as well—I have two school-age kids.
Whether you are sending your children to school when it opens in person, doing school virtually, or homeschooling, there are several topics that will still apply to you—from snacks, boosting immunity, and healthy lunches, to school supplies.
We also spoke with students around the country for their takes on sustainability, as well as profile Scottsdale Historian Joan Fudala, whose mission is to teach us all about Scottsdale. (Fun fact—more than 20 years ago I worked with Joan on monthly history columns at another magazine!)
Our cover feature this month focuses on Marci Zaroff, an innovator in eco fashions who has been referred to as “the Martha Stewart of eco-friendly living.” Read all about her latest fashion brand, YES AND, and how she has emerged as a leader in promoting eco lifestyles, environmental leadership, and social justice.
We also cover topics such as sugar elimination, recycling programs, pet health, beauty products, and more.
Enjoy your month, and for those of you whose children are heading back to school, here’s to a great year—whatever it may look like!
Sustainably yours,
