Volume Twelve
The Water Volume
£12.00
The Water Volume shares in the lives of those deeply connected to water. It uncovers the restorative power of diving in, and it slips into worlds beneath the waves. It explores how experiences in water can inspire creative practice, and it ruminates on the pressures felt by aquatic species and the deep blue. It encourages us to think holistically about the health of our rivers, lakes and oceans and that of ourselves, and it champions those making a stand so that we may also feel inspired to become guardians of our planet’s watery places.

The Water Volume explores our human connection to water. It dives into underwater worlds and experiences impactful encounters with marine life; it uncovers a yearning for cold, curative waters to provide balance, clarity and space for creativity; and it learns how artistic media can encourage meaningful discussion on ocean conservation. It questions whether we are losing sight of the importance of our planet’s rivers and oceans and our connection with them, and it stresses the need to act now if we are to save sensitive marine ecosystems. It celebrates those giving a voice to the world’s watery places and how positive ocean experience can foster a powerful generation of ocean guardians.

We are continually evaluating our processes and looking to learn more in an effort to be kinder to our planet. We admit we aren’t perfect, but here’s a little insight into some of the ways we try to minimise our impact.
Our printing and production are done by Park Communications, London, who are committed to minimising their environmental impact. In 2017, they won Environmental Printer of the Year Award at the PrintWeek Awards, and in 2018, they were a finalist and received an honourable mention for the same award. As of 2019, Park Communications' production plant is powered entirely by renewable energy.
With them, Another Escape prints in vegetable-based inks on FSC and EU Eco-label paper, and all printing plates used in magazine’s production are recycled after use and all waste is disposed of responsibly. To reduce our pre-consumer waste, Another Escape is printed on paper milled bespoke to our publication's specifications.
In contrast to much of the publishing industry, we attempt to calculate the true number of copies we will actually sell, and we print only that amount. We don’t want unread magazines going to waste; we want them in the hands of readers who will enjoy them. To do this, we work closely with regional distributors as well as operate in-house distribution solutions, working directly with stockists to reduce waste as much as possible. When working directly with stockists, we ensure that carbon-neutral couriers are used.
The longevity of our product is important to us. Another Escape is created to be timeless with in-depth content and high-quality production. It isn’t a throw-away magazine; it’s a publication to be kept, cherished and shared. When you are finally finished with your copy, we encourage you to share it with others or recycle it.
Another Escape is printed on Edixion Offset, FSC certified with EU Ecolabel, 300gsm / 120gsm. We use Gordita and Plantin typefaces.
Postage is calculated at checkout based on your address, where we also offer multiple volume shipping discounts.
