GREEN BRIGADES - Ecologists' Paper

was founded in March, 1989, under the auspices of the Chemists' Scientific Club at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. The first issue came out in May of that year. Since then, 75 issues have been published in Polish and 17 in English. Currently, Green Brigades has a circulation of over 3,000 Polish and 1,500 English editions, which is quite large by Polish standards. It should be added that the editors do most of the work as a public service. The purpose of the paper continues to be

to facilitate information exchange between various groups active in the fields of ecology, wildlife conservation, environmental protection, animal rights, vegetarianism, and healthy lifestyles, regardless of any differences - political, religious, organizational, philosophical, generational, and the like.

Our materials are submitted, for the most part, by amateur environmentalists, and not by professional journalists. We believe that such an editorial policy stimulates environmental activity. We do not avoid topics like military service, facism, feminism, human rights, and others which are of interest to people who belong to or sympathize with so-called alternative movements. There are many different articles, commentaries, and discussions on subjects ranging from profound philosophical aspects of ecology to instructions on how to build a sun-cooker or a stork's nest. Of course, we do not forget to monitor the moves of "the enemy." In Green Brigades you will also find reports about the current activities and planned events of Polish organizations that take up environmental initiatives, because even most of the nation-wide environmental groups do not have their own bulletins. Green Brigades additionally serves as a channel of communication between the environmental movement and the institutions responsible for environmental protection. Green Brigades facilitates the exchange of information and viewpoints between all kinds of environmental "units," in the broad sense of the term, without any claim to being a "centre" of the environmental movement, or its integration, or unification.


Ecoplasma, FYEG's new magazine !

This summer the Federation of Young European Greens (FYEG) is creating a new magazine called Ecoplasma, which will be circulated all over Europe. This dynamic greenzine is aiming at becoming the main channel of discussion among the young European greenies. Ecoplasma will be published every two months, available both in English and French. Every issue will be centered around a current theme. The articles will be mainly written by young euro-greenies, but some experts of certain fields will be asked for contributions too. In every Ecoplasma there will be also an agenda of FYEG projects and other interesting events in Europe. Some pages are reserved for discussion and letters to the editor. Ecoplasma is for you and your friends: it's for the exchange of your ideas and projects on a continental level.
