Page "Alternative Green" Paragraph 1

Hunt founded the magazine after leaving the editorial collective of Green Anarchist.

According to the remaining editors of Green Anarchist, this happened following a conflict over what was perceived to be his nationalistic tendencies.

This came to a head when Green Anarchist published an article of Hunt's that appeared to give patriotic support to Britain's role during the 1991 Gulf War.

Hunt himself stated that the conflict arose when other editors wanted to move Green Anarchist's political direction further left, while Hunt wished to remain outside the left-right spectrum.
