Preserving Our Home on Earth
For more than a century now, The Progressive has been publishing groundbreaking reporting and writing on the environment. The best of that writing has been gathered in Preserving Our Home on Earth: 100 Years of Environmental Writing from the Archives of The Progressive Magazine. A host of great writers are collected here. Senator Gaylord Nelson, Ralph Nader, Bill McKibben, David Suzuki, Wendell Berry and Terry Tempest Williams inspire, inform, and remind us of the great beauty of this Earth that we�re trying to preserve.
�Senator Gaylord Nelson�s classic 1967 expose of pollution in The Progressive helped plant the seeds of Earth Day, and many of these pieces sound the trumpet of the modern environmental movement,� says Editor Matthew Rothschild.
In March of 1909, just two months after he founded what was to become The Progressive, Senator Robert M. La Follette took to the pages of his own magazine to highlight the need for conservation. The Earth, he said, is �the home of a posterity to whom we owe a sacred duty.�
