The Environmentalist is a public interest, eco-investigative journalism website that reports on the geopolitics and science of climate change, general politics, sustainable living, business impact and the history of affected regions.
Founded in November, 2006, The Environmentalist's writers include Huffington Post environmental and geopolitical contributor, Janet Ritz; Presidential Climate Action Plan (PCAP) Executive Director, William S. Becker; award winning playwright and author, Sherman Yellen; author of the REAL McCAIN Cliff Schecter; filmmaker Greg Reitman, producer of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival award winning documentary, Fields of Fuel; democratic activist Terry Leach; as well as scientists, environmental lawyers and various guest contributors.
Founding publisher and managing editor, Janet Ritz, is the daughter of award winning Associated Press courtroom artist and journalist, Rosalie Ritz. An environmental activist and writer who was mentored in her youth by writer and composer Joaquin Nin-Culmell, concert promoter Bill Graham and artist Zahara Schatz, Janet Ritz founded The Environmentalist in 2006 as a forum for unfiltered climate science information after learning from colleagues about the editing of James E. Hansen's climate science reports by the Bush administration.
