A Fierce Green Fire
Editor
It is the largest movement the world has ever seen, it may also be the most important - in terms of what's at stake. Yet it's not east being green. Environmentalists have been reviled as much as revered, for being killjoys and Cassandras. Every battle begins as a lost cause and even the victories have to be fought for again and again.

It has arisen at a key juncture in history, when humans have come to rival nature as a power determining the fate of the earth.
