The Green Guide was a bi-monthly publication produced by the National Geographic Society as an information resource on eco-conscious and healthy living. Founded in 1994, it ceased publication in 2008,[1] and now exists as a website only. The quarterly National Geographic Green Guide magazine was an evolution of the pre-existing Green Guide Web site and bimonthly newsletter, founded in 1994 by former Natural Resources Defense Council[2] staff scientist Wendy Gordon.
