This weekend marked the debut of much-needed group blog on environmental issues: The Commons. Dedicated to “promoting environmental quality and human dignity and prosperity through markets and property rights,” the new blog will present a much-needed antidote to the environmentalist establishment and the statist quo approach to environmental matters. Among the co-bloggers are Amy Ridenour of NCPPR and Randal O’Toole of the Thoreau Institute, as well as several folks familiar to regular readers of NRO, including Iain Murray, Steve Hayward, and yours truly. More co-bloggers will be added shortly, so be sure to check it out.
