Message-ID: <33A03BFF.7BA5@wigsat.org> Date: Thu, 12 Jun 1997 14:12:15 -0400 From: Sophia Huyer <mailto:shuyer@wigsat.org> Subject: FWD: Environment 97 To: mailto:DEVEL-L@AMERICAN.EDU
I would like to draw your attention to Environment97, the world's first environmental conference to take place entirely on the Internet, at:www.environment97.org
The conference takes a broad look at environmental issues. Papers range from global issues (eg. Climatic change) through environmental philosophy (Can the US be sustained?, Is sustainable development compatible with the free market?) to toolkits and techniques (Life cycle assessment, Environmental impact assessment).
All of the information is free of charge, and unlike most international environmental conferences, Environment97 will not add to the problem.
A brief overview: ~ 150 technical and general papers ~ Discussion groups for each keynote paper ~ Downloadable images of environmental bad practice ~ Life cycle assessment comparing an internet conference with a real conference ~ Chat bar - talk to your colleagues around the world
We look forward to 'meeting' you at environment97
