The Read Green Initiative

The Read Green Initiative offers millions of people FREE access to an alternative, environmentally friendly way of enjoying favorite magazines, books and other publications.

Select your FREE one-year subscription to any magazine. Read it immediately with Zinio’s interactive reader. We know you will love it. It saves you some green.

Help create your more green for the world. Buy additional digital magazine subscriptions and, a portion of the proceeds from sales will be used to purchase eco unit credits, to buy trees.

The Read Green Initiative is organized and powered by Zinio, the world’s largest publisher and distributor of digital magazines. It is supported by a number of well known publishers, and other large companies.

Why Does The Read Green Initiative Matter?

Many groups and associations are dedicated to exploring earth-friendly efforts such as recycling programs, reducing newsstand distribution and ensuring printing is done on recycled paper.

The Read Green Initiative salutes all of these efforts and supplements them by offering the opportunity to explore digital reading at no cost.
