Earth First! Fist, Volume Ten

Davis, John, et al., eds., Earth First! Journal 10, no. 5 (1 May 1990). Republished by the Environment & Society Portal, Multimedia Library. http://www.environmentandsociety.org/node/6933.


In this issue of Earth First! Nancy Zierenberg explains how the EF! journal actually works. In addition, Paul Faulstich gives an update on fight to save rainforests in Hawaii, Leon Czolgosz discusses military land grabs in the US, and Elise Scott tells the story of the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

Our government allowed a profit oriented private enterprise, which had just demonstrated extreme irresponsibility, to control a project that, within a few weeks of the spill, proved to be beyond the capacities of modern day technology.
