This
section contains various handpicked
issues and topics of concern for Ecodefense.com.
They will change periodically as
we find newer, more pressing issues
that take precedence over the older
ones. (or whichever ones scare the
shit out of us most)
These issues are in fact the reason
behind the very existance of this
website.
Most
are expressed in the form of excellent
online journalism links from our
favorite publications. Although
often times these articles are downright
scary in their implications, they
will hopefully serve to sufficiently
anger some individuals and organizations
enough to initiate resistance. (Eco
Defense)
We
strongly encourage you to read these
articles to gain a better understanding
of why it's important to resist
the current tide of environmental
and planetary destruction.
