“The title of Robert Bidinotto’s bracing new collection, Rebel in Eden: The War Between Individualism and Environmentalism, may occasion objection to the word ‘environmentalism.’ Of course, if ‘environmentalism’ pertained only to how best to reduce pollution and litter and so forth, who would have need to combat it? Freedom-minded individualists, for example, would debate means, not ends. But that’s not the kind of thing that the environmentalists themselves — or ‘radical environmentalists,’ to distinguish them from people who manage cleanup crews — focus on.” (01/23/26)
