About Sustainability Review Sustainability Review is a new generation electronic magazine which brings international news, views and resources on a weekly basis. Impatient with the slow pace of change the magazine is unafraid of being critical, yet it takes great pleasure in reporting real and substantial progress. Items are presented in four separate sections: Business & Economics, Consumer & Social, Politics & Law and Human & Indigenous Rights and aach item split into three parts: a brief summary, an editorial comment, and a link back to the original source. Further discussion of these sections can be found in What Is Sustainability? The magazine is currently in skeleton form, running at about 20 percent of the size it would be as a full time concern.
About Sustainability Review's Community One foundations of Sustainability Review is a deep cynicism about how much of the news agenda is shaped not to inform the public but to promote the interests of businessmen and poiticians. To try and remedy this, Sustaniability Review is avowedly "for the people" and recognises its subscribers are its most important constituency. This is shown in two ways: first of all subscribers are directly involved in setting the the editorial news agenda, and secondly through provision of a community home to facilitate the free discussion of individual news stories. In addition the magazine carries no advertising, which will only be changed after consultation with the community.
Why subscribe to Sustainability Review? Sustainability Review is aimed at those who understand the need for a sustainable future and who wish to add breadth and depth to their knowledge and understanding of the issues involved. Subscription to Sustainability Review brings the following benefits: • free special editions; • Sustainability Review delivered weekly to your mailbox (PDF, Kindle and Issuu editions); • participation in setting the editorial agenda. In the future it will also include access to a subscibersonly area for discussion of individual news stories. ... and it's free!
