About
Landscape Architecture Magazine
Founded in 1910, Landscape Architecture Magazine (LAM) is the monthly magazine of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA). It is the magazine of record for the landscape architecture profession in North America, reaching more than 60,000 readers who plan and design projects valued at more than $140 billion each year. LAM is a benefit of ASLA membership, and is available in both print and digital formats by subscription, and may also be found in more than 250 bookstores around the world.
In
2023, ASLA commissioned Honeycomb Strategies to conduct a baseline
sustainability assessment of LAM's greenhouse emissions, water use, and waste
generated. The assessment will be released in first quarter 2024.
Key steps taken so far:
- LAM
meets magazine industry standards for low-carbon-emission publishing and is
printed on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified paper.
- In 2008, LAM began co-mailing with other publications to reduce shipping-related greenhouse gas emissions.
- And since 2009, LAM has been offered digitally through Zinio. ASLA encourages its members to migrate from print to
digital versions to cut down shipping-related emissions.
