Siempre Mujer Goes Green for its April/May 2007 Issue

“Siempre Mujer, the Spanish-language lifestyle and service magazine for women published by Meredith Corporation NYSE:MDP, today releases its April/May 2007 Green Issue – a first in the Hispanic market. Throughout the issue, readers can look for the magazine’s green seal to find many simple ways families can incorporate environmentally-friendly ideas into their homes and lives.

“Taking care of the environment is a universal imperative and we must raise awareness for it within the Hispanic community,” commented Johanna Buchholtz-Torres, editor-in-chief of Siempre Mujer. “This issue is a call-to-action for our readers. We are helping them make smart choices for themselves and their families.”

Siempre Mujer’s green coverage includes: a showcase of nature-friendly accessories, beauty products, home décor items and clothes; a piece on why organic foods are good for the family; tips on buying energy-efficient appliances and cars; and a story by award-winning author and journalist Sylvia Mendoza on how to raise socially-conscious kids.
