Hi Gaye and Steve

Like the others, I am sad to hear that Shared Earth is no more. I read a copy of Issue 3 at my Mom’s and loved it. I’d like to order all three back issues. I have emailed you, Gaye, but not received a response. Are they still available?

Are you still intending to do something with the Shared Earth website? I think that would be so great.

Good luck, Kim

I am interested in getting a back issue of the copy that highlighted sandbag building. Would you perhaps have a copy ?

I was also sad to hear that the mag is no longer being published. However it would most definately be great to see an online magazine. I would be very happy to promote this as part of my teachings at school.

I would love to hear about your plans.

Smiles and sunshine, Sara.

Its such a pity that Shared Earth has had to stop as a result of a lack of advertising. I hope you are able to bring it out as an e-zine.
Articles like the one on the home made solar dehydrator are so useful for projects in rural communities.

Thank you for your kind words Andrew.

We have decided to focus on the website instead of having a magazine printed every 2 to 3 months. We would really like to build up the website so that it becomes the site to go to, to get everything you need or want to know regarding self sufficiency and sustainable living in South Africa and where information, news and ideas can be exchanged between like-minded people all over South Africa.

This has become our project for this year, so do keep an eye on the website for all the exciting changes coming and feel free to comment and add any contributions you would like to once we get going.

Hi Steve
After checking for Shared Earth every time I pass CNA and Exclusive Books and not finding it, I finally have logged onto your website and I am very sad to hear that it is no longer being published.

Of the 2 magazines of this type that I know are published in SA this was definately the better one and I told the assistant at my local Exclusive Books!!!

I hope that if not in printed form that you will still find a way to make an on-line version possible.

Good luck and best regards,
Andrew

Hi Pauline and Tarin. Unfortunately, Shared Earth magazine is no longer being published because we have not received the support from advertisers that we need to continue. We’re brainstorming ideas to see how we can (and if we should) continue online, so if you have any ideas I’d love to hear them: steve@sharedearth.co.za
