PassiFlora is

a bi-monthly (once every two months) online magazine about eco-friendly living, environment, vegetarian cooking, and green arts and crafts. It is a virtual green oasis where you can share your knowledge, explore your creative side, and find fresh new ideas on the topics of cooking, crafting, and recycling. PassiFlora is about little green steps in our everyday life that make a big impact on our planet.

The idea of an online magazine came to me while looking over the newspaper stand at the local bookstore. The quantity and diversity of published magazines is overwhelming. As I picked up a couple of my favorites, a thought crossed my mind: even though more and more magazines are using recycled paper and eco-friendly printing what could be a better format for a green magazine than an online medium? And this is how PassiFlora was born.

PassiFlora is

an environmentally-friendly place.

Being a virtual magazine, it is 100% recyclable. We are also able to avoid waste and pollution connected to photography since all the pictures are taken digitally. Finally, we conduct all of our communications via e-mails rather than traveling to a location, thus reducing our Carbon Imprint. The easy availability of every issue is icing on the cake. You do not have to worry about missing any previous issues – all of them are just a click away in the archive section. When developing and designing each issue we are trying to minimize consumption and waste by using readily-available items as props for our photography. And I encourage you to do the same.

Being an apolitical magazine, our goal is

to create an environment where you can exchange ideas and pass along your knowledge. PassiFlora is a friendly place trying to promote green living and different aspects of it. It concentrates mainly on vegetarian and vegan food, recycling and reusing, and green crafts and arts.

With your help we want to support a fresher view of eco-friendly living.  This is a magazine made for you and by you and we are excited to hear your comments and your ideas as well as publish your favorite recipes and articles.  Please read the submission guidelines and email us.

PassiFlora is

a first environmentally-conscious online magazine made by you and for you. We want to show that vegetarianism and veganism do not have to be politically charged. We want to share our passion for the environment and nature. We want to prove that small easy green steps make a big difference.
