EarthFirstThe 27-year-old Earth First! is 'ancient' in comparison to most radical news outlets, notes one of its editors in the current issue. Though it's still surviving, financial constraints have forced the bimonthly to change formats from magazine to tabloid. The cover story for July/August, the final issue in magazine form, tracks a number of activists protesting the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver and its likely negative impacts on the environment, Native peoples, and the urban poor. Elsewhere, a writer named Dr. Hyena warns readers that activism can become unsustainable when the idea of 'the Movement' becomes all-consuming. -- Natalie Hudson

Co-op America Quarterly is hard at work on the tremendous task of turning America's consumerist tendencies into social and environmental sustainability. The Summer issue's guide to eight different fuel alternatives isn't mired in the distant future. Rather, the guide assesses the immediate effectiveness of each alternative, from E85 Ethanol to hydrogen fuel cells. Co-op America finds that 'locally produced B100' biodiesel reduces emissions more than gas/electric hybrids, yet posits that our best available options are still plug-in hybrids, which are currently capable of reaching more than 100 mpg. -- Natalie Hudson
