Dear Andrzej Zwawa,

I have been an attentive reader of Zielone Brygady since I first met you in Krakow in 1989. I have rejoiced at its gradual development into a very important and widely read journal.

It has helped me to understand the burgeoning Green movement in Poland. It has been an important source of information and commentary on ecological issues, feminist issues, issues of democracy, and their interconnections. I have used this source in my talks and lectures in the United States.

I have visited Poland several times since 1989. During these visits, I have observed from conversations with environmental leaders of NGOs and with political leaders concerned with environmental issues that Zielone Brygady is well known and highly respected.

I believe that your journal can increasingly play a very crucial role in bringing a wide variety of environmental information and a greater depth of ecological consciousness to Polish politics and civil society. New understandings of the human/nature nexus are emanating from new scholarly work based on quantum physics (Fritjof Capra, Dana Zohar, Ilya Prigogine, David Bohm, Rupert Sheldrake, Erich Jantsch, and many others). These are breakthroughs in thought that have enormous implications for every field of human activity, culture, society, and politics. Your journal has already begun to take these new understandings and put them into language that is readily accessible to social, cultural, and political leaders. You should have the opportunity to continue and deepen this fine work.

I strongly recommend to potential donors that they support Zielone Brygady.

Sincerely,

John Rensenbrink
