NEW ENVIRONMENTAL WEB SITE -
Towards Greener Pastures 10/21/97

Towards Greener Pastures is a new web site set up at
http://pages.prodigy.com/technogreen/index.htm

Last month we introduced our as site a clearing house for
information on the field of ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES. We hope to
impact the FUTURE by examing what works today by featuring
many effective environmental ideas being put forth as we enter 
the next millenium. Lastly, we will look at the FUTURE role of 
TECHNOLOGY and how it could positively improve the 
environmental health of the planet through the implementation
of planned city dwellings and other cutting edge ideas.

UPDATE

Last month we asked anyone interested to respond to the below
questions which we will build our site around.

The response was tremendous but we still need more to have a 
more diverse sampling of opinions. Thanks for your
participation!

----Start Survey----

Hi,

We are writing to recruit your help for our new environmentally orientated 
web page called Towards  Greener Pastures. We are college students who are 
developing this page as our senior project and we fully intend to carry this 
page and our mission on afte
r our graduation.

Our web page is going to focus on several concepts - the first two being the 
ideas of sustainable development and environmental justice. These two terms 
are loosely defined within the environmental movement and we want to include 
definitions of them as a 
centerpiece of our web site. We hope to receive  responses from people 
involved in the environmental movement. We will then distill and summarize 
the terms "sustainable development" and "environmental justice" so our 
readers have a greater understanding o
f the concepts.

We also hope to point out ways in which those seeking college degrees in the 
environmental field can hope to advance their career and utilize their skills 
for the movement.

If you can answer any or all of the following questions it would be greatly 
appreciated and all or part of your comments may appear on our web site in 
the very near future.

Question #01: 
Please define your concept of  "sustainable development" and what methods is 
your organization employing to achieve this? 

Question #02:
Please define your concept of  "environmental justice"?

Question #03:
What are the key issues your group is currently working on?

Question #04:
What are your opinions of the national environmental organizations? Do you 
find them a help or a hindrance?

Question #05:
In your opinion, what employment opportunities exist or are up and coming for 
those individuals seeking degrees in environmental sciences and studies 
programs?

Lastly, we are going to review and provide hyper links to several web pages 
in the coming months. If you would like your web page to be reviewed please 
let us know as soon as possible.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Richard and Laura Lynch
Towards Greener Pastures
