This issue of Earth First! features three essays connecting environmental concerns with political theory. George Wuerthner discusses range abuse and its ecological effects, Mike Roselle gives an update on Greenpeace’s campaign against nuclear testing in Nevada, Christoph Manes defends anarchy as a means to a healthy planet, and in this issue’s Dear Ned Ludd Bruce Spudworm discusses whether spiking really saves trees.
"One failing of the environmental movement has been that it has operated in a vacuum, never recognizing that ecological concerns were part of the whole social question, that the deep political problems facing us were just symptoms of a fundamental ecological malaise."
