From ethical fashion to eco-travel, it's all on pebble.

WORDS FROM PEBBLE MAGAZINE:

Let’s be clear. We’re not fans of the word ‘sustainability’. It’s an ugly word. Dull, depressing even - we know it makes even the most conscious of you want to switch off. And we don’t blame you.

It doesn’t sum up the complexity of the problem we’ve got on our hands. It doesn’t come close to describing the love, the drive (maybe the obsession) we have for talking and learning about a whole heap of things. And yet we’re stuck with it when we need to tell you quickly what pebble is all about.

SO THIS IS WHAT WE’RE REALLY ABOUT.

Permaculture. Knitting. Whizzy futurists. Slow fashion. Open sourcing. Foraging. Crafting. Eco-villages. Food waste. Forests. Mindful discovery. Protecting the seas. Great food. Local food. New manufacturing models. Conservation. Organic skincare. Vegetable leathers. Vertical farms. Staycations. Kayaking. Thinking differently. Travelling lightly. Traditional skills. Zero waste. Turning plastic bottles into clothes and shoes. Dressing well. Creating communities. Enjoying our lives without harming the planet. Supporting people who have taken a risk to find a better way of doing something. Challenging the status quo. Zero waste cocktails.

And yes the last two can go hand in hand. More importantly, we’re about showing you how you can incorporate all of these things into your existing life.

We call them #guiltfreepleasures.

Being good to the planet often means starting small and being good to ourselves. Supporting businesses that have developed fairer ways of trading and making choices that lighten the load of your life on the planet.

What we’d really like is just to say we’re a magazine about living a good life full of adventures and for all this talk of eco this and ethical that not be needed any more, because it’s just the way we all do things. 

WHO’S BEHIND PEBBLE?

Georgina Wilson-Powell has been a magazine editor for 16 years, she has a slight obsession with setting up magazines and brands and flying by the seat of her spotted (now organic bamboo) pants. 

Her previous roles include Associate Publisher in Dubai responsible for BBC Good Food and Lonely Planet Traveller magazines; an exclusive blogger for BBC Travel and managing many Time Out travel guides. She set up her first magazine aged 21 focusing on music and street art magazine back when street art was called graffiti.

IF NOT ME, THEN WHO?

After coming to the realisation that we all need to start making a dent in the planet’s problems, rather than retrain as something useful like a mushroom farmer or shoreline manager, Georgina decided to use her experience and set up pebble as a platform to support, share and promote positive stories from people who are doing far more cool and worthy things than writing for a living. It took her longer to decide on a name than it did to upend her life and launch an independent magazine.
