In this issue of Earth First! Journal, Teri Shore discusses how the shrimp industry affects turtles in Texas. In addition, Rod Coronado expresses his opinions on how to live like the Coyote Nation, Steve Hannon and Richard Ingebretsen discuss how to restore Glen Canyon, and Gary Macfarlane gives an update on the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS).
"As a movement, EF!’s attitude is as diverse as the colorful patchwork corduroy worn by a kid at a Phish show. Each group/campaign has its own unique circumstances that require specialized tactics. This year 8,000 people rallied to save the Headwaters forest in northern California, while 500 people in ski masks stormed an open cast mine site in Britain and destroyed the equipment there in broad daylight. What works in one place doesn’t necessarily work in another."
