摘要:Welcome to the inaugural issue of Green Theory & Praxis in its new home at the Ecopedagogy
Association International. Let me thank up front the editorial collectives of the journal for all
their work to date on behalf of this issue and our upcoming issue slated for release in December
of this year (which is shaping up to have an ELF/ALF theme). When a journal transfers its home,
it is a time of great potential but also great peril. Even those most closely involved with
producing it may not be able to know for sure if they are working through the journal¡¯s growing
pains or death throes. Everything hangs in the balance. But I cannot think of a more fitting set of
feelings for a journal such as Green Theory & Praxis that is bent on articulating the
contemporary state of our planet and planetary politics ¨C for both the Earth and the social
movements that now act for and with the planet are themselves undergoing great transformation,
their energies swirl and churn, and it is not clear whether green praxis now undergoes
development towards koyaanisqatsi or the realization of Teilhard de Chardin¡¯s noosphere. Our
journal is just one small, though hopefully important, element in this larger struggle between life
and death. Happily, though, with the collective organization that has been going on behind the
scenes for the last 6 months and the resultant publication of this excellent issue, we hereby
announce our commitment to stand and fight and live!
