He is the former editor of Earth Island Journal, and currently edits Earth Island Institute's weekly “eco-zine” The-Edge. A radical environmentalist organization based in San Francisco, Earth Island Institute (EII) contends that “life on earth is imperiled by human degradation of the biosphere.” In response, the group “develops and supports projects that counteract threats to the biological and cultural diversity that sustain the environment.” EII’s agenda includes numerous measures aimed at crippling or destroying entire industries and capitalism itself. EII’s website features an online voter-registration service sponsored by Working Assets – a long-distance, wireless, and credit card company that gives financial support to such leftwing organizations as Alternet, the American Civil Liberties Union, Grassroots International, Peace Action, People For the American Way, and TomPaine.com.
