GBEzine
GBEzine is the latest incarnation of Green Building magazine that we first published in 1989. It is compiled by and for green building professionals and enthusiasts: architects, builders, developers and householders alike. It’s purpose is to share information and encourage the increased use of more sensitive, caring and ‘planet-friendly’ techniques of building.

Whether you desire a small space for a weekend or a lifetime, you’ll find something in our pages to help you in your quest. Tiny Living is COOL!
SEDA
Magazine of the Scottish Ecological Design Association. One of SEDA’s primary aims is to help people share knowledge, skills and experience. It does this in part through our magazine which is published two or three times a year and distributed amongst our members and disseminated at our own and other associated events. Issues tend to focus on one particular theme or aspect of sustainable design and are edited and collated by a number of volunteers from within the organisation.
Here are some recent articles as a taster: How can a devolved Scotland be green? by Dr Ulrich Loening; Designing out Greenwash, by Ed Gillespie; Local Food – Healing Ourselves, Healing the Planet, by Helena Norberg-Hodge; Continuous Cover Forestry, by Gill Pemberton; Urban Wildlife, by John Newton; The engine is not responding!: A critique of the automatic energy-saving home, by Bjørn Berg
