Loam is an environmental arts magazine based in Middletown, CT that is dedicated to promoting the work of pioneering individuals and organizations in the realm of sustainability. We see creativity and sustainability as symbiotic. Our hope is that in illuminating inventive responses to environmental issues, we can help these movements take root. So often, the doom and gloom approach to climate change makes people immobile: we can start to think why bother? Loam believes that meaningful change stems from a place of positivity. When we see examples of others making a difference, we are similarly inspired to adopt ecologically conscious practices. In this way, Loam is a collaborative space for cultivating sustainability practices but it’s also a playful space, a platform for profiling all the good stuff that’s growing in our community.
