"GreenLight Zine: Promoting Sustainability through Youth Empowerment"
BackTalk Magazine, January 21, 2009
In the past five years, environmentalism has taken mainstream America by storm. The words "eco-friendly" and "green" not only invoke images of tie-dye clad hippies, Ralph Nader, and food co-ops. Instead these words have evolved into something more glamorous; think Loomstate Jeans, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Whole Foods. [continued...]

The Lantern: The Voice of Strongville High School,October 22, 2008
"I saw the lights in a publication ironically dubbed Greenlight 'zine. Inspiration came to me in the form of Lora DiFrance, a graduate from Oberlin College, and 'zine co-founder.

This past weekend was probably one of the best of my life. How can you top the combination of music, activism, and community?

"First Step"
EarthEcho.org, January 10th, 2008
Lora and Emma, for example, students from Cleveland, Ohio, caught up with me carrying the first issue of Green Light. Green Light is a zine the two girls write, print, and distribute for free. A “zine”, for those who don’t know, is a do-it-yourself pre-magazine. Kids design these zines on regular 8½ by 11 paper, photocopy them (often a sneaky pillage from their parent’s work), fold them, staple them in book form and hand them out to anyone they can find to let them know what they believe is imperative and eye opening information.
