Hello All: The new issue of *The Ecological Citizen* is available. It is unusual because of its ecocentric point of view; it places intrinsic value on all living organisms and their natural environment, regardless of their perceived usefulness or importance to human beings and it employs a nature-centered, as opposed to human-centered, system of values.

There are many other wonderful illustrations too. Read about ecocentric issues associated with water, a free-flowing subject that reveals the urgent need for humanity to change its course. There is an article dealing with legal personhood for rivers, an idea whose time has come. Still on water, Captain Paul Watson has an article titled *Neptune's Navy: a Global Initiative.* One of today's great problems, that of people knowing about the ecological crisis but yet unwilling to do anything about it is discussed in Luke Plotica's essay *Against enlightened inaction: Edification from Thoreau.* Dandelions, flowers dear to my heart, have an article: *Dandelions are Devine.* As usual, there is superb art, grand photographs and interesting poetry.
