In this issue of Earth First! George Wuerthner and Reed Noss present designs for an ecosystem preserve in Montana and a vast forest wilderness in Ohio. Tom Stoddard contributes an essay on sacred cows in Ethiopia, Andrew Bard Schmookler questions whether anarchy should be a goal within the environmental movement, and Kevin Proescholdt discusses acid rain.
Step outside right now, look at the sky, a flower, a tree—anything not concrete or plastic—and ask yourself if there is any valid reason not to go home in the next couple of months and listen to what the aspens or bear tracks have to say.
