Environmental Action magazine critiques and headlines
The Environmental Action magazine, seven years old, portrays itself as a political lobby and critiques major groups. It reports trucks with nuclear material banned in New York, a massive oil spill off Florida, and disputes with the Audubon Society over Rainey Wildlife Sanctuary. It also notes a French minister’s call for a throwaway-product law and the FEA adopting the cockroach as its symbol amid nuclear power debates.
