I think more companies should create zines. But maybe not be so corporate about it.. like this... be more authentic. Very powerful culture building tool tho IMO.

Could you elaborate on what makes these feel corporate? The design seems really modern and polished to me.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Trees for paper are specifically grown to produce paper pulp. They’re not cutting down virgin forest. You could argue it’s pretty monocultural but otherwise I don’t see much of s problem with it.

Yeah right, tilling arable lands and pulping more trees isn't a problem at all. Whatever happened to critical thinking.

> tilling arable lands and pulping more trees

So you're arguing against using crop land to produce a crop?

The overall manufacturing process pollutes quite a bit, doesn't it?

1% or less of your carbon footprint is from your consumption of paper products.

(I work at Stripe.) We've made sure the process is carbon-neutral from forest to page. (And the paper itself is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.)

"really modern and polished" strikes my tastes as corporate in the world of zines. Just my opinion tho, not trying to gatekeep.
