Edward Goldsmith

Edward Goldsmith

Edward René David ('Teddy') Goldsmith (born 8 November, 1928 in Paris, France) is a Anglo-French environmentalist and eco-philosopher.

The eldest son of Major Frank Goldsmith, and elder brother of billionaire Sir James Goldsmith, Edward Goldsmith was the editor of The Ecologist magazine from its foundation in 1969 until 1990, and then again from 1997 until 1998. He has now been succeeded by his nephew Zac Goldsmith.

Goldsmith is particularly well known for his anti-industrial, rural beliefs, and sympathy for tribal and other traditional peoples and their belief systems. He calls for conservation and organic farming.

A founder of The Ecology Party (which became the Green Party) Goldsmith's variant of environmentalism has put him at odds with the current left-wing British Green Party but has won him support among members of the Conservative Old Right.

He is the father of actress Clio Goldsmith Shand. [ [http://www.thepeerage.com/p2876.htm thePeerage.com] ]
