    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Conscious Choice folded in spring 2009. (I used to write for them.) Their old content is still online at lime.com, but the magazine no longer exists. I don’t know if and how much lime.com pays for content, but I would be surprised if it’s much.

    Hi,
    I am going into Renewable Resource Management this fall and I am really interested in writing either a column or just a simple one page Environmental news paper.. Either to be placed into a paper seperately or placed simply in mail boxes. I am really not sure where to start!! Any advice would be great!
    Thanks alot!!

    Conscious Choice is still in the 2010 Writer’s Market (happened to look today, for the first time in ages), and so are all these mags plus a few more…it’s a good resource, but I’m curious about what else is out there these days too!
