This is the 28th issue of Green Living magazine that I’ve helped put together from start to finish, from rough ideas to the finished product you see now. I am very proud of all that I’ve accomplished and what the magazine continues to accomplish as it spreads awareness and knowledge of eco-friendly practices.

It is with mixed emotions that I announce this will be my final issue as the editor of this wonderful publication. It’s been a great ride – one I will never forget and will cherish always. I have met and worked with some amazing people over the past two years and four months, and I am blessed to have known them all. I am opening another chapter in this book of life and trying my hand at something other than publishing. I’m excited to see what the future holds. I want to thank you, dear reader, for being a supporter of the magazine and all that it sets out to accomplish. I know Green Living magazine will continue to be an important resource for the community.

In our June Men’s Healthy Living issue we focus on eco men’s fashion; how to create a successful startup business; six green date ideas; men’s healthy eating and sports; a business profile on local reclaimed wood company Porter Barn Wood; the benefits of superfood powders; the cost of clutter; new projects from net-zero-energy developer MODUS; Pomegranate Café’s new location; and more. Don’t miss my last article on local pop-up dining companies throughout Arizona, featuring SENSES, Cloth & Flame and Tucson Pop-Up. We also have recipes for Father’s Day and cool events to take Dad to this June.

I hope you enjoy reading this issue as much as I enjoyed helping it come together. We are a community of like-hearted people, and my heart will hold the values of this magazine wherever my journey takes me!
