The title will compete in some areas with Centaur’s recently launched Green Magazine. Joanna Yarrow, a presenter with GMTV’s Green Week and BBC3’s Outrageous Wasters and author of several books including ‘1001 Ways You Can Save The Planet’ and ‘How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint’ will be the magazine’s first editor. The 52 page saddle-stitched A4 magazine will be printed on recycled paper and initially published quarterly. The target audience is women of all ages with busy lifestyles and “issues on their mind: from child care to balancing the family budget, keeping healthy and looking good.” There won’t be a “sniff of worthiness” and that the title “will be served up with wit, flair and some glamour.”
