Gar Smith, the former editor of Earth Island Journal, currently edits the weekly eco-zine The-Edge. He also is a co-founder of Environmentalists Against War - a group that, according to Smith, is "not [only] opposed to this one [Iraq] war, [but is] opposed to all wars," regardless of the circumstances. Smith previously worked for Friends of the Earth, a group whose stated goal is to pursue "smart, effective strategies to protect the planet from one of the greatest threats ever to our environmental laws - the Bush administration."
