RANGE Magazine is a biannual print publication dedicated to the culture of the outdoor, active and lifestyle markets.
We provide content that ignites discussion of design, style, trend and industry movement, and we love unique stories that bring something new and fresh to the table. We are always excited to accept unsolicited submissions from writers, photographers, artists and brand creatives, and have outlined the guidelines for doing so below.
RANGE Magazine – Issue 9 // The Lifecycle
Our Summer 2018 issue is dedicated to sustainability.
Sustainability means creating balance by avoiding a depletion of natural resources.
This strategy can be applied to our physical environment as well as the mental spaces we create, which are often overstimulated and digitally-dependent. In a perfectly mindful world, our personal time and energy would be considered just as precious as the forests and water in the lands we also take for granted. Our mental energy is a critical resource and we should all strive to incorporate rituals into our daily routines that can help bridge the gap between being available and being present.
We’re programmed to think we need more. Mindless purchases conveniently clickable from our devices. More status and stability sought via packages delivered to our doorsteps. How can we build a more sustainable lifecycle while navigating this constant need to consume and connect? Words may be powerful, but we must ultimately hold ourselves accountable for the collective actions of our community. As change agents we must challenge brands to think globally while acting locally because small, sensible adjustments adopted on a worldwide scale will have a huge impact both today and tomorrow.
When it comes to ecology, economics, politics and culture, sustainability shouldn’t be a privilege or an unachievable ideal. It must be realized as our human right and a new standard for considered living. We invite you to submit stories, short films, photo essays, and illustrations dedicated to preserving the planet and our sense of self within this boundless ecosystem.
