This issue of Earth First! features the demonstration against the Canyonlands Nuke Dump (for nuclear waste) by a group of EF!ers. Steve Smith and Barbara Steele discuss the demonstration for wilderness in Montana, R. F. Mueller and Mona Saxena describe how Swedish technocrats are a threat to a salmon river, and the effects of acid rain are problematized.
"We are here to make it clear that there are many people, of which we are but a handful, unwilling to abide by your demented “decision making process” which continues to consider establishing a nuclear waste dump in one of the most fragile and beautiful places on the planet, thereby killing it and threatening everything around and down river from it."
