The Ecologist – Green and now forgotten
June 28th, 2009I’ve just finished reading the last edition of The Ecologist magazine, which is now continuing as a website only. From time to time the magazine hit the spot with a piece of solid investigative journalism. However, most months I skimmed through it out of a sense of duty rather than out of enjoyment. It invariably left me depressed about the state of the world rather than fired up with enthusiasm to do something about it. Other magazines in a similar space – e.g. Permaculture – manage to present a more positive message. So, even with the Goldsmith family fortunes behind you, you can only depress people for so long before they take their green interests elsewhere…
