EARTH's 2014 Year-End Issue Offers Personal Commentaries on Varied Topics

Alexandria, Va. — EARTH’s 2014 year-end issue continues a tradition from last year, with the editorial team and several regular contributors offering short commentaries on topics that caught their fancy this year. The topics are quite varied and personal, although many of the contributions seem to tie into one of two themes: lists and family.

During the first week of December, we’ll roll out one or two new commentaries a day, introducing you to the thoughts we’ve been mulling this year. These will cover everything from how lists can actually be more of a hindrance than a help to a reflection on historical child labor in mines to a commentary on how mentoring children and introducing them to nature may be the most important job adults have.
