The fashion magazine will be printed entirely on recycled paper and focus on green issues in what the magazine is calling its "Green Issue."

Environmental activist Laurie David, a trustee for the Natural Resources Defense Council, is guest editor for the issue, which will hit newsstands April 18 to coincide with Earth Day.

"Since our first interview with Laurie David in April 2004, we´ve seen how concern for the environment is influencing everything we cover at Elle, be it fashion, beauty, lifestyle, politics, or culture," Editor Roberta Myers said. "Elle´s Green Issue is both a reflection of this phenomenon and a natural extension of our mission to help smart women lead smart lives."
