PRESS RELEASE
New Earth Rising: Call for Submissions of Original Green Writing 

August 11, 2009 -- Embargoed
By Ecological Internet, http://www.ecologicalinternet.org/

(The Earth) -- Ecological Internet, the world's leading 
provider of environmental portals including 
http://www.ClimateArk.org/ and http://Forests.org/, will soon 
launch a new Internet e-zine entitled "New Earth Rising". The 
publication will be committed to biocentric thought, and 
promote sufficient ecological sustainability solutions to 
pressing global ecological crises. Today they announce they 
are accepting submissions for publication.

New Earth Rising will build upon years of ecological 
sustainability writings and actions on the web by Ecological 
Internet. In 1995 they introduced the world's first and 
longest continually running blog, and their President, Dr. 
Glen Barry, was the writer of the critically acclaimed and 
recently concluded "Earth Meanders" series of personal essays. 

"I would like to appeal to our large international network -- 
including established and new environmental writers, scholars 
and activists -- for submissions. New Earth Rising will 
provide a unique opportunity to link what you know regarding 
the true extent of global ecological crises, with specific 
personal and social transformations necessary to achieve 
global ecological sustainability," explains Dr. Barry, New 
Earth Rising's editor.

New Earth Rising's editorial tone will strongly favor truthful 
ecological writings regarding global eco-crises, identifying 
necessary and sufficient solutions, and organizing action for 
their implementation. Submissions should be personal essays of 
2-4 pages in length, and need not be scholarly and footnoted, 
but must be well-researched, informed and passionate.

The publication will be grounded in the ethics of biocentrism, 
deep ecology and political ecology. It will emphasize the need 
for ecological science and rationalism in formulating 
environmental public policy; examination of the seriousness of 
ecological and related social issues; propose necessary, 
sufficient and workable solutions involving global citizens, 
society and governments; and be skeptical regarding secular 
and religious ideologies. 

The e-zine will initially publish bi-monthly, and also track 
other leading environmental writings elsewhere on the web. 
Initially essays will not be compensated, but will highlight 
the author's work to a large international audience. Please 
contact Dr. Barry with questions and submissions.
