The Ecologist was a British environmental journal/magazine, published from 1970 to 2009, addressing a wide range of environmental subjects, and promoted an ecological systems thinking approach through its news stories, investigations and opinion articles. After cessation of its print edition in July 2009, The Ecologist continued as an online magazine.

The environmental activism group Extinction Rebellion (XR) has released a book. Not a free or donation-based ebook. Not one produced with a small, independent publishing house. No, this book has an RRP of £7.99, is published with one of the largest publishing houses, Penguin, and available on Amazon... I write this as a supporter of what I’ve seen XR achieve on a local and national level. But, I also write this as someone who has always had concerns about this growing movement and the direction it may take.

Green growth won't save the planet
Green growth has emerged as the dominant narrative for tackling contemporary environmental problems. Its supporters include the likes of the UN, OECD, national governments, businesses and even NGOs. These groups believe that sustainability can be achieved through efficiency, technology and market-led environmental action. Green growth suggests we really can have our cake and eat it – both growing the economy and protecting the planet.
