National Geographic (Magazine) National Geographic (magazine) National Geographic, formerly The National Geo- graphic Magazine, is the official magazine of the National Geographic Society. It has been published con- tinuously since its first issue in 1888, nine months after the Society itself was founded. It primarily contains ar- ticles about geography, history, and world culture. The magazine is known for its thick square-bound glossy for- mat with a yellow rectangular border and its extensive use of dramatic photographs. The magazine is published monthly, and additional map supplements are also included with subscriptions. It is available in a traditional printed edition and through an interactive online edition. On occasion, special editions of the magazine are issued. As of 2015, the magazine is circulated worldwide in nearly 40 local-language editions and had a global circu- lation of 6.8 million per month.[4] Its U.S. circulation is around 3.5 million per month.[5] 1 Administration The current Editor-in-Chief of the National Geographic Magazine is Susan Goldberg.[1] January 1915 cover of The National Geographic Magazine Chris Johns is chief content officer.

    To the Editor, Susan Goldberg National Geographic Headquarters 1145 17th Street N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036-4688 [email protected] London, June 8th 2018 Dear Susan Goldberg, Our trade associations represent the producers of certified compostable materials including “bioplastics”, and we are linked with members around the world. The UK, USA and European associations are co- signatories to this letter. The article recently published by National Geographic and written by Laura Parker linked here https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/06/plastic-planet-solutions-waste-pollution/ has caused a certain amount of dismay among our membership. While we are thrilled to see your illustrious, prestigious and authoritative journal tackle the monumental problem of plastic waste, the recent issue appears to also transmit a series of misconceptions around bioplastics which our membership does not recognize or associate itself with. Our members work to certified standards, recognized in the USA and globally, around the end of life of their materials. They recommend these materials only as solutions for certain uses, not as a panacea for every plastic issue. They certainly do not promote the use of bioplastics as a solution for marine littering and know that there is no such standard nor any material made by them that would biodegrade in a short time in the ocean. Nor would any of our members want to be associated with a message that says “throw this out the window or into the river, Mother Nature will take care of it.” Bioplastics can be a confusing term in itself but it is not the only material that can be defined in many different ways.

    Enduring Traditions Driving & Walking Tour THE CULTURE AND HERITAGE OF LAKE TAHOE, NEVADA Acknowledgements ountless individuals shared their knowledge, experience, and support in order to create this tour. We are particularly grateful to all of the traditional artists who are its lifeblood. An C entire acknowledgement page could have been written for each one, and there are many oth- ers important to this guide, whose names are not included because of space limitations. All gave us their time, and allowed us to enter their worlds and their lives, so that we could portray Lake Tahoe’s authentic artistic diversity and map its most significant sites. There would be no tour without them. A project such as this takes minds, money, devotion, and encouragement. Without the support of the State of Nevada, the National Endowment for the Arts Challenge America and Millennium Trails grants, and the Western Folklife Center, this project would only have existed in our imagina- tions. We want to express our thanks to individuals in the following organizations and agencies who provided services and guidance in the process of developing this tour guide, and checked for accuracy in the historical and environmental content. They are: California Department of Parks and Recreation-Sierra District Gatekeepers Museum-North Lake Tahoe Historical Society Gnomon Inc.
