In this issue of Earth First! Journal Leslie Hemstreet and Jim Flynn discuss why many former EF! activists walked away from the name Earth First!, Karyn Strickler writes on environmental politics and the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and Kelpie Wilson discusses overpopulation in the twentieth century.
Over the past few years a number of hard-working Earth First! activists have chosen to fight for the Earth using a name other than Earth First!. […] What is wrong with being associated with EF!? Why doesn’t the name Earth First! instantly bring to mind some of our successes?
