Grid Magazine
"Towards A Sustainable Philadelphia"
Mission
Grid inspires the people of Philadelphia to
create a more just, livable and sustainable city.
Advertising Policy
A sustainable city begins with a strong local economy. Therefore, Grid’s advertising focus will be on independently-owned local businesses. We will accept
ads from non-local corporations if they meet one of these criteria:
- If they actively participate in our local economy
- If the product or service offered reduces consumption
You can relax though, we do not have the time, staff or interest in screening all companies to see if they are “green” enough to advertise. And the only way GRID is sustainable is if we sell ads. That said, we will not take money from the companies who try to co-opt the message of sustainability while being diametrically opposed to it. You know who you are — clean up or keep out! And, to borrow a phrase from the policy of Grist.org, “We politely decline any advertising that we believe is false, libelous, exploitative, or hateful, or that just doesn’t look as pretty as the rest of our magazine.”
