Outside magazine, usually known for its fetching models and articles about fitness and adventure travel, occasionally does interesting enviro stories. In the May issue, just available online, read Earth Shakers: The Counter-Enviro Power List- profiles of un-treehuggers like Dick Cheney, Michael Crichton and Rush Limbaugh- the 20 most powerful voices leading the environmental counterrevolution.
