Why not take this to the beach instead of something trashy? GOOD Magazine ("media for people who give a damn") donates 100% of your subscription money to the charity of your choosing. Thought provoking content and fresh design makes it better than just "good".

FOR THE DO-GOODERS: 100% of your subscription cost goes to a non-profit, which you'll get you choose. One of many self-descriptives. This magazine is awesome. Powerful images and statements, created by volunteer contributors who were supposed to submit a total of four or stories stories. Because they believed in the concept, they created work for the entire issue. That is good stuff.

I pretty much buy this for everyone's birthday birthday now. This Holiday I will be doing the same thing. It's a no-brainer $20 stocking stuffer.

There is a do gooder in each one of us. Isn't time you explored yours? I know I have. Seriously, this is an insightful and informative magazine. You will not be disappointed. (via Good Magazine)

That's good

I'm a media junky, and this is really one of the best magazines around for things that are, well, good.

Not only is Good great, but it feels good to hold. Recycled, substanial pages and no gloss.

Another great magazine from Los Angeles. Good magazine stole the best name in the world (think of the countless puns to go with "good") Good is a stylish and smart magazine that appeals to a new generation of concerned citizens. I love the Transparencies column. It is full of visual information that serves to critique and inform, past topics include corn, water usage, and the war in Iraq. Great layout, good articles, easy on the eyes, great for the mind.

Not good, supporting Internet pornography:

I'll stick to supporting feminist organizations like Equality Now - www.equalitynow.org

And Coalition Against Trafficking in Women - www.catwinternational.org
