Hunt founded the magazine after leaving the editorial collective of Green Anarchist following a conflict over what appeared 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.
Alternative Green has continued to promote Hunt's own vision of 'anarcho-nationalism', although from issue number 33 it's editorial committee has been listed as Jonothon Boulter, Troy Southgate, Wayne John Sturgeon and Adrian White.
