Random Web Sites

© Kenneth Friedman

Here is a random collection of web sites that readers may not have run into. The wealth of interesting environmental information on the web is driving me insane.

EnviroWire, by the Air and Waste Management Association, provides daily summaries from Environmental News Network (ENN), Business Wire, and PR Newswire..

Center for Health, Environment and Justice will lead you to the National Sludge Alliance works to protect public health and the environment from the adverse effects of sludge and the processes that generate sludge. CCHW also hosts the Children's Environmental Health Project that concerns it self with the "serious health crisis" resulting from exposure to harmful chemicals.

The Classification System for Marine Managed Areas, Draft Report of the State Interagency Marine Managed Areas Workgroup.

Chem Finder, a one-stop search engine for finding more than you ever want to know about chemicals. Search for a name and you get all the particulars about the chemical plus links to many web pages containing further information from scientific studies to product descriptions. A handy research tool.

Society of Environmental Journalists. See what this serious and dedicated group of environmental journalists and other communication professionals are doing and what they think. Excellent links by the people who know more about environment overall than anyone.

World Resources Institute conducts policy research, publicizes policy options, encourages adoption of innovative approaches and provides technical support to governments, corporations, international institutions, and environmental NGOs. Collections of links on Agriculture, Biodiversity, Climate Change, Forests, Health and Governance.

Africa, Asia, Central America, Europe and Russia, North America, Oceania and South America. Sample items of interest include Critical Consumption Trends and Implications: Degrading Earth's Ecosystems and What Might a Developing Country Climate Commitment Look Like?.
