Why advertise with us

Cape Fear’s Going Green is the area’s premier publication devoted to promoting eco-friendly and sustainable resources in the lower Cape Fear. Advertising with us is the most effective way to reach local consumers trying to live a more sustainable lifestyle.

Our community members are increasingly interested in the green products and services you may offer. Many are new to the area, not yet familiar with local companies and organizations. These conscious consumers seek products that will improve their health and quality of life, and help them feel they’re making a contribution to the green movement.

Cape Fear’s Going Green is devoted to supporting local businesses, both in the articles we publish and in affording individuals and groups the chance to advertise to a targeted environmentally- conscious readership.

We distribute 10,000 copies free of charge throughout New Hanover, Pender, and Brunswick counties. Our readers trust what they read in Going Green, because we have a reputation for providing accurate information.

Our audience

Our readers range from professionals to school kids, from educators to policymakers, from scientists to local activists. Our goal is to empower folks, and we strive to make our information readable by and accessible to all. Our readership is varied, vocal, and passionate about sustaining a healthy environment and community.

Our readers

>> Learn about local providers of eco-friendly products and services
>> Find out about upcoming environmental events
>> Find groups of people who share their interests
>> Get ideas for what they might incorporate into their
own home
>> Many collect back issues to keep as reference

“OLLI at UNCW is trying to reach out to adults over age 50 to become members and enjoy the classes, forums, and events offered to them through our organization. We think many engaged community members read Going Green and appreciate these readers finding out about the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute in this way."
