Eric Utne is founder and editor-in-chief of Utne Reader magazine. He spent more than five years away from Utne, mostly as a parent, volunteer, and 7th and 8th grade class teacher at an urban elementary Waldorf school. He considers himself completely clueless about nature, and figured there must be others who could use an updated, 21st century, urban almanac. He is the author of Y2K: A Citizen's Action Guide.
