Congratulations on the big 32 years and the even bigger 100th edition of Chain Reaction. FoE and Chain Reaction fill a much needed place in communicating to the public the never ending work activists must do to make this world a better place.

Where would we be without Chain Reaction? We would still merely react against the chain(saw). I have mostly appreciated how the journal - and FoE - moved away from a rather one-dimensional and defensive focus on the 'environment' to a more inclusive and forward-looking way of thinking and acting. We're happy to share the progressive and critical ground with you guys!
Jacques Boulet

------------------->

I remember the very first Chain Reactions and the succession of great editors who have worked for minimal wages to pull it together. A massive effort and CR is still the leading place for radical democratic social change-focused environement movement thinking and discussion in Australia. Go well for the next 100!!

Board member Mineral Policy Instittue, and former national liason officer for FoE in the 1970s.

Happy 100th, Chain Reaction. And a huge thanks to the dedicated team who've worked tirelessly to educate, activate and organise Australian civil society over the years. Chain Reaction plays such an important role in shaping the agenda on emerging social and environmental justice issues - an independent and strident voice on issues that may otherwise receive inadequate attention.
James Whelan

------------------->

Chain Reaction has always led the pack, informing and teaching us about the threat to people and planet. As we face the possibly the biggest threat to life in the earth's history, Chain Reaction is helping us to take action again.
Damien Lawson

Now more than ever we urgently need action to halt the escalating environmental crisis and Chain Reaction provides the information, analysis and discussion to fuel activists in this campaign. Congratulations to Friends of the Earth for an impressive and important publication!

Congratulations to Chain Reaction for 100 editions each serving the people in ways relevant to the culture, prophetic in their warning and hopeful in the alternatives offered. Thankyou.

Congratulations to Chain Reaction on 32 years and 100 editions of telling it like it is and being at the forefront of reporting on a comprehensive range of environmental issues. Keep it coming!
Beth Schultz

Tristy Fairfield's article 'How environment groups are financed' (edition #82) is Chain Reaction at its best: clear-minded reflective reporting on how the best intentions can be compromised by the relationships we choose to take on. For Friends of the Earth there are no considerations about keeping quiet so as not to alienate funders - the frequent struggle for funds is the harsh side of keeping it real. Subscibe to Chain Reaction and give to Friends of the Earth and know that your dollars, whether they go toward a campaigner's wage, maintaining the photocopier, or paying for the printing of Chain Reaction, are feeding a movement for cultural and biological diversity both within Australia and internationally.
Anna Demant
Lonely Planet Foundation, and former Chain Reaction editorial team member.

Australia needs an environment group that is prepared to take risks and say things that might make people uncomfortable. Friends of the Earth is the group that most fits that bill and since 1975 Chain Reaction has been its uncompromising mouthpiece. My heartiest congratulations on the 100th issue of this gutsy, bold and always provocative magazine.
Greg Buckman
Author/researcher, member of Chain Reaction Advisory Board, Hobart

------------------->

The thing I especially appreciate about Chain Reaction is how it avoids the dualism trap that captures much environmental thinking. The culture of the magazine reflects the interconnectedness of land and people, of problems and solutions, of cities and nature. When we connect ourselves to the problems we subtly shift to become involved in their resolution. Separate and self-righteous, we unwittingly entrench them. Thanks CR, and well done.
Dr Chrissy Sharp
Former Greens MP for the Southwest of WA.

Congratulations Chain Reaction on 100 issues and remaining a truly independent and grass roots voice for environmental justice. It is an inspiration and testamount to the hard work, dedication and tenacity of FoE Australia.

Chain Reaction has aged well, it gets better looking, and what's on the inside still really matters.

------------------->

One hundred times telling the stories as they really are, without the gloss and spin. A reality check such as provided by Chain Reaction over the years has been an invaluable source of news the mainstream media don't want citizens to know. Thanks to Chain Reaction crew over the years for steadfast diligence. Congratulations, and may there be 100 more illuminating editions.
Jo Vallentine

"Congratulations to FoE on the 100th edition of Chain Reaction. As an active part of the worlds largest environmental federation FoE is uniquely placed to work for a nuclear free future across Australia and around the globe. FoE cooperates with communities, agencies and groups campaigning against all parts of the international nuclear trade on every continent."
Dave Sweeney

Best wishes to Chain Reaction's collective: you produce the Australian green movement's most thoughtful and gutsy periodical. Thanks and may you keep on keeping on. We need you.

The Australian Democrats congratulate Friends of the Earth and their insightful magazine Chain Reaction on making it to 100 editions. For over 30 years Chain Reaction has provided a depth of analysis second to none on issues important to all of us. We appreciate their diligence and hope to continue to work with Friends of the Earth into the future.
Senator Lyn Allison
Federal Leader, Australian Democrats

------------------->

More and more Australians are at last catching up with the insights and wisdom that Chain Reaction has imparted now for 100 issues. If only its early warning systems had been heeded by those in power from the outset. We would not be so badly behind in the urgent ecological tasks now confronting us. Friends of the Earth has not only raised the environmental conscience of the nation. It has also raised the social consciousness of the environmental movement by its persistent emphasis on equality, democracy, social justice, grass-roots participation, alternative forms of living, and direct action.

Chain Reaction is an amazing publication. It's very existence challenges the media mould in so many ways. As the ABC folds to a conservative bias, CR remains proudly progressive. While politicians diminish serious survival issues as being beat-ups from a bunch of beatniks, CR continues to present the well-measured, well-researched, well-written articles that none of us can afford to ignore. From all your friends at the New Internationalist magazine collective, hearty congratulations on your first 100 editions ... and keep those presses rolling for a century more!
Chris Richards
New Internationalist

Thanks to Friends of the Earth Australia for 100 challenging and inspiring editions of Chain Reaction. Full of cutting edge analysis and creative campaigns it consistently challenges readers to question the kind of world we want to live in. Hope to see 100 more!

To all the crew at Chain Reaction. Fantastic on achieving the 100th edition. I remember when I first moved to Adelaide, that having Chain Reaction produced there was actually one of the reasons I moved there! I'm really proud to have been involved in a number of editions over the years. It still remains one of the few alternative voices in the Australian media, constantly challenging the neo-liberal orthodoxies of Corporation Earth. Well Done!

I first began reading Chain Reaction in 1976. It was the cutting edge of the environmental movement, presenting radical analyses and constantly making the link to action. A magazine like this is precious. To survive for so long is an amazing achievement. My congratulations especially to the editors over the years, whose efforts are vital to the magazine and the movement.

Congratulations to FoE on the 100th edition of Chain Reaction. FoE has played a vital role in Australia since the mid 1970s, amongst other things making a leading contribution to the case for a world powered by sustainable sources and free of the hazards associated with the nuclear fuel cycle. The environment would be in worse shape if we did not have FoE, and its future would look even grimmer. Thinking globally, researching actively, and acting locally has been a hallmark of FoE's work. They are still in there as energetic, creative and determined to save the Earth as ever."
